My Doc put me on Lamictal and I never consciously felt different--for better or for worse. I still had my random bits of depression. I do suffer from anxiety which hasn't been lessened by Lamictal. I'm not an angry person, in fact, I'm too complacent.

Now that you guys mentioned it though, I have noticed that I will be super anxious for a week or so, with no depression than all of a sudden the next week or so, I'm super depressed with no anxiety--all with no external triggers.

But on another note, I'm not sure how I feel about Bipolar meds, in my specific case. As mentioned, I'm extremely introverted and show/feel little excitement and have to force myself to do anything extracurricular. By that I mean calling up friends, going to parties, etc. The thing is, I don't want to be strictly "level". So although the mood stabilizers may help with my depression and anxiety, won't they also restrict appropriate excitement, which I am so desperately in need of?
