A member asked:
Can 20mgs prozac (fluoxetine) trigger hypomania in bp ii person even when taken with lamotrigine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is possible.: Although the hope would be that the Lamictal would act as a safety umbrella for use of an ssri - to prevent development of hypomania - there is no guarantee that it will seamlessly provide that protection.
