I hope that it will work for you. Up until 3 weeks ago I was taking Lamictal for Bipolar II. Started it 14 months ago. It did an amazing job of warding off my depression, but I did have at least 3, possibly 4 hypomanic episodes in the past year while on it. I'm debating going back on it or trying something else out because I feel that I need something to mellow me out a bit more. Let us know what you end up doing!
