"i have mercury-poisoning induced bipolar ii and took lamictal. it made me feel great until i ended up in the hospital with erythema multiforme covering my whole body and aseptic meningitis. i was very disappointed because i was starting to feel really good on it. andy cutler protocol has been the best treatment for me thus far, but i really wanted something to eliminate the depressive episodes (my manic ones are mild) while i get all the mercury out."
