Yes Jigssaw, lately it's constant. Well my pdoc said i might be on too many meds. Since my "illness" isn't so strong, i don't need much meds. then she also said maybe Lamictal isn't the right med for me. there are a lot of possible options and only time and trying less Lamictal or new med's will tell what my body needs.
well as for depression or anxiety is like this. if the AD makes you manic, then it can be BP. if it helps, then it's not BP. at least that's how i understand it. this was my case. AD made me manic so my pdoc knew i have a mood disorder but i dont have bp but cyclothimia, which is a milder form of BP or something, very rare stuff.
don't self diagnose yourself. ask your pdoc what you have, what kinnda problems, i know i would like to know what i have...but its your call of course.
wish you best of luck
p.s. yup it's all in the personality

so smile
