I know how you feel Sweet. I go from depression to hypomania frequently. I never know what I am going to feel like the next minute. Sometimes I will be fine, and feel so good that I don't think I will ever feel depressed again. But then that switch flips and I am totally depressed. It is hard for me to decide what meds are helping me or even if they are helping me at all. I was on Zyprexa, but it made me much more depressed that I have ever been in my life. I am in the process of weaning off of it right now. I am now on the titration pack of the lamictal and I feel like I have seen positive results. For the past two weeks I have felt really good, confident, and energietic, and had a positive outlook on life. Then I had an argument with my husband this weekend and it threw me into a funk again. It has been a couple of days and everything is fine with hubby now. We apologized and made up. Still I am depressed and can't seem to shake it. I want to feel the way I did for the past two weeks. I feel the lamictal is helping so I want to stick with it. I know that I will still have bad days but I have to look past those and remember the good days to remind myself that the meds are helping. If I don't do that I have a tendancy to think they aren't working when in reality they really are.

I really hope that you feel much better very soon. Hang in there and give your body and chance to adjust to the meds. It may just be a matter of time. Hugs to you.
