Someone once told me that if you stop taking it and re-start it, it won't be as effective. I dunno if this is true. But I'm worried if I stop it and the lamotrigine doesn't work, the lithium won't work as well. I think my med people would prefer it if I was on lamotrigine, though. Rather than lithium. Idk.
