To me it sounds like you qualify for a diagnosis of bipolar type 2 (though of course I can't be sure). And I don't know why you refused antidepressants, but your symptoms sound very similar to mine and I would certainly recommend an SSRI in addition to the Lamictal, because, like I said, lamotrigine works as an enhancer. That could be worth talking to your psychiatrist about at your next appointment.
