My pdoc thinks 10mg makes me manic (which is why he stopped prescribing me 10mg), but I'm already in a mixed state (dysphoric mania). I'm kind of in a "do not give a sh**" mode, even though I know I'll regret it later.

What dosage lamotrigine?
You shouldn't need anything more disinhibiting, probably. It is somewhat pro-manic for a mood stabiliser and you probably shouldn't take anything with the same kind of effect.
I would gradually lower the %#*-am because the withdrawal effect might not work well with lamotrigine. It isn't the mood stabiliser that is to blame then.
