Is your Lamictal dose being increase further than 100mg? It is still low so you have plenty of room if you run in to trouble again. I wish you all the best.

Thank you! As far as I know, 100 mg is my target dose. I was even concerned it might be too high since the weeks on 50 mg were so much better than what had preceded it and the first 2-3 days on 100 mg were sluggish.
I did well on 10 mg of Lexapro for an entire decade. There were a few periods where I tried a few things to go along with it for a short time or a 15 mg dose, Pristiq, Topamax and Cymbalta but it was generally just 10 mg Lexapro. I never had a hypomanic episode until age 36 and other causes for it haven't been entirely ruled out. To be cautious, I was classified in bipolar. Thinking of myself in those terms and being treated along those lines is entirely new for me. :-D
