I agree with Maxime about keeping Lithium at 900mg. It's unclear whether Lamictal protects against mania, although it clearly works for preventing bipolar depression. Lithium + Lamictal is a good combo for bipolar.
> I would suggest changing only one thing at a time. So get stable with the Lamictal and then play around with your lithium if necessary. Being bipolar type 1 means that you probably need to stay on your lithium at that dosage, but I could be wrong (I have been before!!).
