> I am Bipolar so in my med cocktail I have taken 100 mg of Lamictal for over a year now. When I first took as monotherapy I was able to write songs for the first time in months, but that escalated to mania so I had to add an anti-psychotic. I have been quite low for some time, no motivation to write music or do much else for that matter so I don't know if it's lost it's effect, or I need to be on a higher dose, need to cut back on the anti-psychotic dosage, or what. Still trying to find the perfect balance.

I would start with cutting back on the ant-psychotic. My hunch is that it is the culprit.polarbear
