I've been on too many meds to count over the past 33 years. I can't recall too much of what worked and what didn't. Also, sometimes something worked/didn't work and that changed later. Some of the meds that helped me in the past are not in use anymore.
I will say that I was in a mania 7 weeks ago and was put on Lamictal. It seems to be very helpful for stabilizing my moods.
