Drinking with your meds is not a good idea for several reasons. And smoking pot would exclude you from pdoc care with most clinics that I know, if they were to find out. I do not think it is possible to go into a manic phase on 25mg Lamictal (or with any dosage for that matter). I do not think it is considered an activating drug like allot of antidepressants. But IMO it looks like that you are in a out-of-control manic phase of your illness. I used to be this way. Now I take meds.

Still I just spent $25 that I do not really have to spend. But then I used to spend hundreds of dollars each week that I did not have to spend. My record this year is $1000 in one week. So my meds have been helping. When I feel a manic phase is coming, I take an extra 5mg of Zyprexa which seems to work.

I wish you well!
