Question about quitting Lamictal and staying on Zoloft

[heather94491]

I am currently taking Zoloft and Lamictal (and Trazadone for sleep at night), but I'm feeling like the only way out of the bind I am in is to actually *be* a little manic.  (I haven't had a manic episode in a long time - actually, I was only ever hypomanic.)  I have had a hopeless feeling and I don't actually think it's depression - I think it's real, and I am wondering about the potential to get *more* depressed if I go off Lamictal, or if it shouldn't matter.  In other words, is Zoloft mainly the antidepressant and Lamictal is actually stabilizing just in the sense that it would prevent mania?  (Or hypomania, in my case.) Thanks.

im jealous of u  :) as i couldnt be on lamictal though wanted to be on one  ....
i am no mental health professional (standard warning :) ) but  lamictal  has both mood stabilising and antidepressant properties  ... check google  also dr grohols ************ website .  

dont tamper with ur meds ok  discuss with ur doc  ...  Say u want to be little happy or better dont say u want to be hypomanic ... because though depression ***** medically hypomania means often depression will come soon ... so target wellness and better and happy  ... did i answer ok  ...or i goofed up  .. tell me ..
