This is true. One of my doctors, Baron Shopsin, discovered this in the early 1980s. For awhile, he actually thought it might act as a mood stabilizer. Adding Lamictal to Wellbutrin can be particularly good for depression and will help prevent rapid cycling. For difficult cases of ultra rapid cycling, Lamictal can take up to 6 months to penetrate the cycle.
