No, you are fine Krissy. Some have found that Lamictal will cause more mania than other mood stabilizers, but you had problems with other ones, and you are taking Klonipin, so for now (until your next Pdoc appt.) it should do. But, you really should consider another mood stabilizer with Lamictal, as it has been implicated in causing some manic symptoms. Please read Dr. Ivan's '30 Questions about Lamotrigine (Lamictal)' at: http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.lamotrigine.htmlAgain, also check out:
http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/meds/moodstabilizers.htm
for more on add-on and different mood stabilizers.Again, for now, don't be afraid to use your Klonipin.
Best :-)
