I'm bipolar II and I've had the rug pulled out
from under me on every medicine except for LAMICTAL.
Lamictal can be used to treat unipolar depression to.
Why don't you give it a consideration. Its very
popular for bipolar.-John

Maybe I need to accept that brain upheaval is going to be a fact of life but somehow that doesn't seem like a good solution either. Anyway, if people can share what strategies have worked for them in similar situations, I would greatly appreciate it.
