I was inpatient for a week recently with bipolar depression and they increased my Lamictal by 100 mg and Zyprexa by 2.5 mg. This has helped bring me out of the depression without making me manic. The only downside to this is that I'm now maxed out on the Lamictal, so I'm hoping it'll keep working because I don't like the other alternatives.
