It is more likely you had worsening of symptoms that the Lamictal was not adequate to treat.

Lamictal doesn't work like this. It does not just stop working, then start working. Your symptoms are worsening and the Lamictal isn't enough to treat them.

While you were off the lamictal, you probably had a bipolar upswing, which is why you ended up at ground zero, soon after-bipolar mood downswing.
>so maybe i need less, like 10mg?
This isn't even therapeutic. You need to be taking at least 200 mg to be receiving t he full benefit of the drug. No wonder you're having so many problems with your mood.
