I also take Lamictal for depression and without it I'd be in the hospital too. I would cry every day and wouldn't get out of bed. I was suicidal and had bad anxiety. I did the step up to 300, 600 and then 900 MG. Been on Lithium since 2012 and Lamictal since 2012 too.

That's awesome news! Again, I'm on more Lamictal than everyone but maybe that can be cut down now that I'm on Lithium. I like taking the least ammount of Meds that can! I have Bipolar I and panic/generalized disorder. They are weaning me off the Cymbalta but it is kicking my *** with anxiety! Once I get down to 60mg I'm hysterical with anxiety. It's awful! Just had blood work yesterday for this past week to see how my thyroid, kidney functions and Lithium levels are doing!
