I can't stand feeling flat anymore. All of my creativity, which was so immensely inspiring to me, is just gone. Gone. I see her (pdoc) tomorrow...well, I "see" her, as on my computer screen - I told her 2 weeks ago, so she agreed to drop my Lamictal from 225 down to 200. Well, of course that didn't do anything.
The Lamictal seems only to smush mania; it doesn't do anything for any other symptoms.
She's a terrific pdoc, it's just that she's hell-bent on keeping my mania down. That's her focus, it seems.
What should I do? What can I tell her tomorrow? I'm thinking of dropping my Lamictal down and not telling her, just see how it goes for a week or 2.

The problem with being manic and then having it under control, is that 'mania' makes everything exciting and it is easy to motivate yourself. I don't know how your meds affect you, but I went through many different combinations over 22 of my first bipolar episode. Being flat is horrible. I believe that everyone has there own combination of meds that work for them, so I think you should keep trying new ways, but don't do it without you Pdoc knowledge, because if something goes wrong, your Pdoc will be able to bring you back.
