But then, I didn't know I was bipolar either until a couple of months ago. I'm just wondering why Lamictal seems to be doing nothing for my mood swings high and low after over 5 weeks of taking it..

interesting. i was first put on lamictal when first dx with BP too. but i felt it wasn't doing a d##n thing for me either after sitting on it on my full dose for about a month, yet still feeling just as crazy. i was so disapointed because lamictal had been talked up so much and my major symptoms are my depressive episodes (BPII). so it seemed like the perfect drug. i thought i was just uber weird, or was wrongly dx with BP, or something - but it's not working for you either...
anyway, to bridgie -->
i know the feeling. those normal days are wonderful and awesome and it's like a breath of fresh air and so easy to forget the bad days. be good to you.
