Yeah, I've been down the antidepressant causing trouble road over the years. Obviously SSRIs are a baaaad idea. Currently I take Wellbutrin XL. I've taken the combination of Wellbutrin and Lamictal for years and while I haven't done fabulously, it's worked much better than anything else I have tried in the past, oh, 15 years or so.

I may not have been clear, it's not the rapid cycling I'm trying to figure out, just the possible effects of the Lamictal/Lithium combo.

There have been a lot of stressors in the past few months which have contributed to finally knocking off-kilter the precarious balance. Thus, adding another mood stabilizer to the mix. Ah, more meds...
