"i am diagnosed with bipolar, still unsure if my type is 1 or 2 because i experienced good several bout of signification impairment of function depressions and frequent severe hypomanics or mild manics. mixed episodes are my main presentation of bipolar disorder. i tried lamotrigine and many antidepressants, all they did was fueled my mild delusional manics and another times was mixed. i was on carbamazepine and lithium, it was good but i developed allergic reaction to carbamazepine and fueled a month and half long of constant hypomania mood and doctor put me on trileptal. for the first time i am able to feel content without any explanation. it is a great medicine, you don&#039;t feel side effect and being content, that&#039;s a dream to me."
