Maybe it could by cycling and a coincidence about the Lamictal? But everyone reacts differently to meds, especially once you're on a cocktail. Are you on meds to counteract mania, like an AP?
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I think you are right that it might be a little bit of hypomania based on other things like wanting to stay up and do work all night, start projects, etc. I have been cycling pretty quickly since stopping Lexapro 7 weeks ago so this is quite possibly related. Well, hopefully I will find out when I increase to 200 mg if it is helping or not. I am only on Lamictal right now, no other meds like an AP.
