I was diagnosed as Bipolar II after having been treated marginally for social anxiety and depression for 15 years. I withdrew from Paxil. I am slowly weaning from Klonopine while adding Lamictal. My beginning dose for one week was 25mg. This week, I am on 50mg. My racing thoughts have diminished as have confusion and rapid speech. I can't believe I am saying this, but I think I am too happy. I worry that I am having mania. I have trouble controlling my laughter in public. I cannot stop once I start, and I have little or no real reason to respond in this manner. Will I level off? Can I continue to up dosage to desired therapeutic level of 150mg without going completely bonkers??!!
Thanks for any advice.
