Thanks for your support Bizi and DoubtingThomasina.
To answer your question Bizi, I started out on 25mg of Lamictol and never progressed from there. I started out taking just 1 tablet/night for about a week then was told to start taking 1 tablet in the morning and 1 again at night. So I kept this up for a couple weeks until I started having really terrible manic depressive episodes, usually at night. This started the day before I started taking the Adderall but it worsened when I was on Adderall. It's weird, because after I stopped taking these medications, I've returned back to my happy self again.
A counselor I'm seeing asked me how sure am I that I'm even Bipolar. I told her I had several professional opinions that I am and since it's usually hereditary, and my dad has Bipolar/ADD, it's very likely I've developed it too. Right now I feel very manic (i.e. rapid speech, can't sit still, can't wait to go back out shopping...). I'm happy now but I'm dreading the day I fall back down again.

Thank you DoubtingThomasina for your request to check out the post you mentioned. I can't wait to see it! Please take care of yourselves!
