[QUOTE="klmno, post: 209636, member: 3699"] Two thoughts come to mind- of course, this is based on my experience with my son so it doesn't necessarily mean that either is the answer for your son. One, lamictol might help with depressive symptoms but might not help so much with hypomania or mania. Two, adhd doesn't switch on and off like hypomania/mania. Whether the cycle lasts for 2 days or 2 months, adhd doesn't work that way, in my humble opinion. My son first tried lamictol but was in a hypomanic stage when he started it and it made things worse, even though he tends to run more on the depressive side when not stable most of the time. I think you should call the psychiatrist and let him/her know what you're seeing. My guess is that a different MS might be in order or an add-on. In any case, this is something the psychiatrist should be aware of. [/QUOTE]
