I see my pdoc again for a 2 week follow up. I am starting to feel slightly better on the increased dose of Lamictal (XR version for first time too), although I'm still not fully out of the woods as far as depression goes. I have more energy though than before, and my mind is more active.

I'm praying I won't switch into mania though. I will be curious to see if she adds Lithium, which is what she was originally planning to do. I'm a little undecided about that decision though since I am starting to benefit from the med increase, so I'm wondering if it is even necessary.
