Peter, I really can relate to your experiences. Here's what happened to me on lamictal.. I had a good reduction in anxiety from it initially but when reaching 50mg. I started feeling really screwed up. Extreme mood swings, rage, deppresion. I've lost faith in the mood stabilizers. All mood stabilisers I have been on have been an unpleasant experience for me, only making me more unstable. The bipolar theory does'nt hold water for me. I know when I'm feeling good. And it's not when I'm on mood stabilizers. I watched my Mom on lithium for ten years and have concluded that it did'nt help her. She got a new Dr. and he took her off of Li and commented "what the heck was she taking this stuff for"? It all depends on what on the psychiatrist beleives! I really hope you get feeling better! I wish I had more time to comment. I am pressed for time. You are not alone! Please keep posting!
