[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 47056, member: 1514"] I know why the old psychiatrist is saying what she is saying about the lithium vs the lamictal. Maybe I can explain it in some semblance of ways someone can understand considering I just woke up and my fingers arent cooperating! Ok...Lithium works much better on certain neurotransmitters and chemicals in the brain than lamictal does. It is a salt instead of a neuroleptic. Lamictal works more on the depression side of things and lithium works more on the mania side of things. While they are both mood stabilizers they work on slightly different neurotransmitters. In the future there will be some sort of blood test or something that they can do so they can say...oh...he/she needs this drug because this is missing. Wont that be nice? That gets into genetics.
