Like someone above said ^^ don't be afraid of Lamictal. I've been on it since I was diagnosed with bipolar NOS and I've experienced no side effects. I'm on 300 mg. However, nothing seems to be working for me right now. But don't let that discourage you. Lamictal really isn't scary.

I hear you on the therapist bit, I feel like my therapist just doesn't know what to do with me because I'm such a mess. I feel the same way about my psychiatrist. Just try to remember that they are there to help you. It's their job and they care. They wouldn't be in the profession if they didn't.

Good luck!
