Dear lybrate-user,
Are you taking both Celith and Epitic as mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder?
If so, please take both. Sometimes lithium carbonate helps well to control mania but not depression. Lamotrigine controls depression well.

Dear Basharat,
Because of your feeling of emotionally upset and sad mood, Lamitor was prescribed to you. It had not come up after the tablets.
Lamitor dose will be built upto 200 mg over few more months. Then you will not be upset of sad mood. All the best.
