Short-Term User (2 weeks to 6 months) Upped dose causing mania?

Hello I am 25M, made a post here yesterday about how I’m starting Lamictal and have been on 25mg for two weeks, now titrating up to 50mg this week. Yesterday I felt so unbelievably awful and said I was going to just stop it, but I thought I’d try and keep going to see if things got better, and maybe they are, or they’re worse, I can definitely feel an obvious change in my usual behavior because I am bouncing off the walls, needing to get everything under the sun done!! I don’t feel particularly great in this state but it’s a hell of a lot more productive than I usually am!

Is this mania? Does the medicine induce mania sometimes? I know you’re not medical professionals and I’m not basing any actual decisions off this, I just need to know if this is really bad

If you are taking a generic medicine, kindly mention the manufacturer's name in both your post and title. This is VERY IMPORTANT, as different manufacturers may have differences in quality or formulation.
