I emailed My T to forward to my pdoc...followed by phone cal to pdoc to increase the mood stabilizer...going from 100 mg to 150 mg Lamictal to see if that will help pulling the mania states down and help with rapid cycling and mixed states...I meet again with him on July 10th...I really want to jump to 200mg as I tend to be somewhat resistant to meds...but I guess 150 mg is worth a shot...

I have found it really dangers to be in mixed state...best way to describe it is you tend not to think things through, may take risky behavior in spending or sex and addition driving while drunk...Mix all that with feelings of not living and you are just stirring a chemicals that are ready to go off.

Anyway I really wanted to switch to another drug...but he mentioned metabolism issues...So I will see it through up to 300mg...if it doesn't help then I will switch...

Unfortunately it takes a while for the med changes to take effect. I imagine it is even harder if you are drug resistant. Hopefully this is the magic dosage. Take care.

hope this works for you you need this. what a state of mind to have. i was manic for aprox a year before i was diagnosed and had well bad judgment and behavior was verry risky. so i kind of know how you must feel. ask about neurontin. it may help stabilize your moods as well. i was on lamictal a huge dose for many years and finaly got off because just didn't work right for me. than i switched to neurontin. and not too high of a dose either. works better, just saying for info.
