It can be completely okay to do so. Effexor is an activating anti depressant. Meaning if you tend to get sleepy and low energy with a depression, it is a good choice. Lamictal is a mood stabilizer. Abilify has multiple uses. It can enhance a anti depressant, it can level a manic state, or be used at an anti psychotic. ALWAYS, ask your doctor why he is giving you a med. As much respect as I have for mine...he is a service industry. He serves you. And stability requires a team effort. Best of luck...there is life after meds...

I take 200MG of lamictal now and am on Celexa- Can I switch to lamictal and Effexor?

Since the drugs deal with slightly different problems and you do not begin to give anywhere near enough information about your particular problem for anyone to make a decision how can you expect someone on the internet to give you advice on that issue? Not only are both of those drugs for slightly different purposes, but both should be closely monitored. If you are a 100 pound woman 200 mg of lamictal could be considered a fairly large dose. If you are a 225 pound man, 200 mg of lamictal could be considered a small dose. You need to explain to your doctor why you think you need to replace celexa with effexor. Normally effexor replaces a different type of drug. Still if celexa is not working, he may have misdiagnosed the problem.
