Welcome to the boards, @peachiee23! It's always nice to have new folks, but I'm sorry your arrival comes on the heels of an episode & definitive diagnosis. I hope you get your meds right soon so you don't struggle too much with bipolar disorder.

Since it's a mood stabilizer, it would surprise me if Lamictal is causing your crying bouts. Clinically, it should even out your moods. Lamictal never caused me much grief, at least. If you're in a depressive episode, your mood probably has more to do with the crying spells than the meds. But I'm no doctor...I just stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
