"i was diagnosed with bipolar 2, bipolar with depression, bipolar without mania... the main thing i noticed about lamictal is that it seemed to have helped with adhd symptoms, that i really didn&#039;t know i had, until i read the symptoms for that. i was chronically late, my whole adult life. i lost almost every job i had due to lateness. i had other adhd symptoms, but that was not my diagnosis. guess i thought all those things were just character flaws. 

after i started taking lamictal, i was not late anymore! it seemed to have helped with depression, but any benefit from that has seemed to come back. i came to this site looking for extended, long range use of lamictal."
