lamictal is mood stablizer, but its more for depresion, rather than mania which lithium, carbamazine, valporic acid treat
yes lamotragine is known to cause hypomania, even though it stablizines mood, its more for depressive symtoms in manic-depressive cases.
i've heard the same thing about lamotragine too, i notice mood lift a long time ago, i was really drunk in a bad depressed mood, i forgot to take my lamictal earlier that day, i took 400mg dose and noticed signifiantly how it pulled me out of depression state caused by alcohol
its a antidepressant mood stablizer, and yes it can cause hypomania rather than lithium
