Hi Dalilah,
Your message struck a chord with me cause I'm on a similar medication regime to you, that is lamictal, seroquel and depakote. and I suffer from mixed states (lthough mines more agitation than hypomanic). this cocktail works really well for me and i've been symptom free for a few months now.
the one difference is obviously the depokote which SLS recommended. its really good for mixed states and it might a be a good idea for you to swap the lithium for it. The one thing to be careful about though is that you need to halve the dose of lamictal when you take depakote because depakote influences the half life of the lamictal.
good luck,
Amy
