> I was on 800 mg of tegretol XR but I was more depressed rather than manic, so I was switched to lamictal. I just started the lamictal (25 mg). I keep having an unusual feeling of mania. I guess it's mania. For 10 minutes or so I get these bursts of energy. A euphoric feeling sets in. Afterwards I get depressed. Could that be considered rapid cycling? I think that I am bipolar I because everytime I am in public I feel like people are looking at me and saying things about me. I don't hear any voices, but I am paranoid. Could that be something different?

You defiantly need to consider lithium its the one and only when it comes to bipolar I. I am no doctor but it sounds like you have manic depression without a doubt. Lamictal is basically a anti-depression med for people who suffer with manic(Bipolar I)
its used with other meds as well, but its not much of a mood stabilizer..I am on both lithium and lamictal.
