Lamotrigine
"Officially diagnosed as bipolar II, I have highly recurrent depressive episodes (since early teens) and have had a handful of mild hypomanias. Overall I would consider my general moods as being dysphoric/depressive and agitated/anxious.



I take 250mg/day and it has done wonders for me. I no longer get depressed in the same way I used to. No more weeks on end of feeling rejected, lonely and sad. No more fears it may worsen into a deeper depression where I can barely get out of bed. Now, if I do get depressed, it's minor and goes away in a day. The longest has been 2 days.



Find the right dose. 300mg made me agitated/hypomanicky. Also the cognitive side effects at that level were horrible. However, at my current dose, all is good."
