Does the good Dr. Burgess have anything to say about it. Or have you had any personal experience with it. I am not asking for advice, but someone else's experience might help.
I am also on Lamictal. Stress can cause bipolar symptoms to get worse. There is a thread titled "Interesting bipolar facts" I will post the Lithium information on that this evening. The information in that thread comes from the book by Dr. Burgess. I don't want to highjack this thread.
