My first medication was Lamictal and believe it or not it helped me stop alcohol (I was an alcoholic); I had been in a prolonged depression and it brought me out of that as well. So I suppose I had been self-medicating.

The AP's I'm on got me out of a psychotic episode and I would up the Seroquel whenever I felt another one come on (well, sometimes...).

I just recently came off of a relatively low dose of Seroquel on my own (I used to take a much higher dose) and I'm actually starting to come out of the depression I was in though I don't attribute this to stopping Seroquel, for sure, the timing doesn't work, but I have more energy and am not so hungry all the time. I also know what saliva is again...

So basically, Lamictal has helped with depression (and alcohol dependence) and the AP's (Seroquel and Abilify) with hypomania and mania. As I've said before I miss my hypomania's like crazy
