We have decided, with the doc's permission of course, to decrease Caroline's Lamictal by 25mg in the morning because the mania we saw creeping in is actually still present. She just seems way to much "on the go" like she is on speed or something. The Lamictal acts not only as a mood stabilizer but an anti-depressant, so with the sunnier weather and longer days, she may not need as much now. I am so thankful that our doc trusts our instincts and usually goes with our suggestions! We know our daughter better than anyone else and so when we see early signs of depression or mania, we try to stay one step ahead as best as we can.
