"i&#039;ve suffered with bipolar ii for roughly 7 years, after two suicide attempts, months of insomnia, and horrible manic events, i finally found a doctor who knew what he was talking about! in combination with prozac, i have started my titration of lamictal. i tried zyprexa and gained 20 pounds in a month. with lamictal, i&#039;ve lost that and more. i hardly feel hungry. i have faith that once my dose is increased i won&#039;t have as many depressed days. so far so good!"
