> Hi,
> Lamictal sends me hypomanic when I take it for bipolar depression.. I'm wondering whether anyone has ever used topamax as a means to stop the lamictal-induced hypomania?? I read about this possible option on Dr. Ivan Goldberg's psycom site associated with Dr. Bob's site..

My first reaction when I read this is to ask you if you would consider using Zyprexa or any other AP as an antimanic / stabilizer. I wish there were more anecdotes on the board describing the use of Abilify in such circumstances. It would be a nice alternative if weight gain is an issue. Regardless, you could take a short trial of Zyprexa just to see whether or not persuing this strategy is warranted.
