@hopeful1953 I have Bi-Polar II. It was diagnosed in 2006, but I suffered with it way before that.

I’ve been taking Lamictal for about 15 or more years plus Zoloft.
In the past, I’ve tried stopping the Lamictal several times. It was horrible! The manic episodes returned almost immediately and I knew I couldn’t stay off the medication.

Unless/until we are blessed with a miracle healing, we will have to keep taking the medications.

My son was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 recently. He’s on Lamictal currently at 125 mg. It’s been really awful on our family because he gets really angry and it’s like constantly walking on eggshells around him, we have to watch everything we say because we don’t know what is going to make him mad. He does seem to be improving, but also gets bad anxiety and depression. Can you tell me what dose of lamictal you’re taking?? And are you able to hold a job and live a normal life?
