I don't know what is the cost gain idea of this choice.

Hi Lillyleaf. That's a tough question. Are your mood swings severe enough for you to want to add another drug to the cocktail? Is the Dr. going to switch the Lamictal out for the Lithium?
I have learned from my own journey with Bipolar Disorder that drugs can only help so much. If you feel you are managing on the meds you are taking right now then you may want to stay where you are, if not , well it's your call. What do you want to do??
