"wow. that&#039;s all i can say about lamotrigine. i&#039;ve battled bipolar 2 since the onset of 15 yrs of age. i&#039;m 35 now. i was misdiagnosed several yrs back as adhd. they prescribed  adderall for over a year, which made me manic and i became addicted. terrible experience. i waited 2 yrs and was terrified to take my therapists suggestion of trying lamotrigine to stabilize my mood after diagnosing me as bipolar. i started taking it 4 months ago after a major manic episode and i can&#039;t believe the difference. my anxiety and depression is gone and moods are stable. i keep waiting for the shoe to drop but i&#039;ve been stable since starting it. a miracle i&#039;ll tell you! i had headaches the first couple months and heightened sex drive but now i feel normal."
