I've been on lamictal before. If you are having reoccuring bouts of mania, I suggest asking your doctor about Vraylar. I am on that now and I haven't had any mania since I've been on it for almost 2 years now. It is a very expensive medication that I had to get prior authorization on from my insurance ($1500 per month) but it is worth it if nothing else seems to be working. Hope you get better soon and find some relief!
By the way, the meds I am on right now are: buproprion, sertraline, levothyroxine, vraylar, metformin (for diabetes), and zolpidem for sleep. I haven't had any issues with depression or mania in a while, but I wish I could go off some of my meds because I am having other side effects (constant fatigue and achey muscles, blurry vision, etc.) but this could also be because of my diabetes..
