Thanks for your input. I know I'm on a super low dose right now and I was surprised it felt like it was doing something after just 3 or 4 days. I felt slowed down on the outside but still fast on the inside, if that makes sense, and then kept getting better. I thought maybe it's not the lamictal, maybe I'm just naturally coming down from being really really hypomanic. My therapist (phd psychologist with lots of experience with bipolar) is convinced it's the lamictal though. If she's right, that's really encouraging and I wonder if I'll feel normal by the time I get to 100mg!

I see so many people on here struggling with getting on meds that work. It seems like it would be damn near miraculous if I get that lucky.
