Lamictal is part of my current med combo, and has been for over a year. This, combined with Wellbutrin, really helped me start moving towards stability. But, I also need an antipsychotic to help keep me stable. I'm really sensitive to ap meds. Risperidone is what I'm currently on, but it took a LONG time and a ton of trial and error with other meds before it.
I was probably my best, mentally, on lithium but my stomach couldn't handle it.
I am also prone to depression; Wellbutrin, at least for awhile, made a night and day difference. I don't think it's helping quite as much as it used to, but I am still very grateful for it. I think I'd be more depressed than I currently am, especially since I have some situational depression going on, without it. I can't take more than 150 mg though-a higher dose turned me into the hulk.
