I have been told that. I already take 300 mg Lamictal though, although sometimes I only get in 150 mg if I forget my second dose. Other than several months I was on Lithium, I can't remember exactly when, I have taken Lamictal since I was first diagnosed 10 years ago. I don't even know if it has any effect anymore (for my bipolar). Now I remember, I was on Lithium for several months before the episodes started last November, because I was still on it when my pdoc left in December, and took myself off it (I know, not good) sometime before I saw a new pdoc in April. I've been on Lamictal again since then. It seems like I'm always on Lamictal, though I don't know how effective it's been in the past several years.
