Your doctor might have a good suggestion. There has been some research showing that a low dose of Lithium + Lamictal can be effective. It has been for me. I am bipolar II but tend to lean towards severe depression. I didn't like Lithium alone. I didn't like Lamictal with other drugs. The combination of these two is a charm. It is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I take 600MG Lithium and 350MG Lamictal. The lithium dose is low enough not to cause weight gain. It is slow to get started but.....it works for some people.
Good Luck.
