I use to be really bad before I started taking lamictal five months ago. It has helped very well with my hypamania but not so well with my depression but I find my depressive episodes are less heavy...so I can deal with it but I do get those odd days where it can be quite bad. My depressive moods can be either in the morning or afternoon. I have a switch and it goes on and off each day so there's no predicting. But in between these states I have normal moods which are amazing and I don't take for granted!!!!
I'm also on abilify 10mg for my delusions and hallucinations...but have really bad episodes every so often
Hope this helps somewhat
Keep living it strong everyone!
