In reply to Lamictil or neurontin in bpII/psychotic depression, posted by CraigD on September 1, 2004, at 16:02:43
> I'm on week two of lamictal, which has been added to my Celexa 40 mgs to try and balance out my unhinged behavior from the latter. My dad and sister are BP1 and I have a schizo nana.

I am responding to my own message bc it disappeared into the Babble cyber-ether. Finding the social anxiety to be returning at 20 mgs Celexa and 100 mgs Lamictal. So far I love it, but I'm wondering if I should keep titrating up with the Lamictal.Anyone?
