I believe they are helping, my Ability keeps me from hearing voices (at Least turns down the volume of them), Lessing the paranoia, and delusions, and supposed to be good for the irritability and agitation.

My Lamictal helps keep me less aggressive, and has an antidepressant effect, idk if it helps with the mania or not, but I do feel more.evened out when I take it, well take both meds actually.

Even though they're both for more.on the depressive side of the BP moods, I do notice they keep me out of manic/hypomanic episodes.

My only issues is that I'm in a depressive episode (possibly an agitated depression) since late April, early May so 3-4 months. Coupled with grief from.my Grandpas passing, making thing worse. And the meds aren't really helping too much right now, they're just making things tolerable. My psychiatrist and I are working on tweaking my meds, and I see her August 8th, so I'll discuss it with her then, she already knows some of my depressive symptoms, but not all of them yet, I just hope she doesn't chalk it all out as just tried since this depression has lasted about 4months...

But yeah I think the meds are helping to some extent.
