Lamictal: Miraculous? Not Quite | Psych Central Professional
published 2013
I am confused as to how they came up with bipolar for a dx. There is bi polar I and bi polar II. bi polar depression is just the depression phase as far as I know. I am also confused as to why it would be prescribed alone. Maybe because of your reaction to AD's. Lamictal has a low side effect profile. Not sure about withdrawal. Like with all of them it should be done slowly. 50% per week reduction I read but that is pretty fast really.
You may or may not have been having withdrawal from celexa. Not everyone gets it. Hard to know.
