Are there risks to taking Wellbutrin XL and Lamictal together?

According to the literature, these two medications are safe together, and with someone taking Wellbutrin for depressive symptoms that has hypomanic / manic periods (common with bipolar disorder), Lamictal help stabilize the mood in order to decrease the risk of a manic episode. In my own experience, this combination caused severe neck and back pain to the point where I could not move my neck for a day (this was after taking the combination for 2-3 days, after I discontinued the Lamictal, the pain went away). I have read reports of a similar reaction in others. Also, it seemed to make my concentration worse (I was diagnosed as bipolar d/o, yet I don't have the manic phases.. I'm almost certain it's actually ADHD).
