"although i had experienced major episodes of depression and anxiety (which went unconfirmed by psychiatrists) it wasn&#039;t until i turned 24 in may 2013 that i was diagnosed with bipolar ii. i was started on lamictal 25 mg and bam! within two days i felt like a whole new person: very social, motivated, imaginative and bursting with life (much different from the depressed and irritable self). i am currently on 100 mg and feeling great after continuing college, earning the highest gpa i ever earned, obtaining a new personal training job and meeting a very beautiful girl...i guess that&#039;s success. for anyone with the same condition lamictal is worth trying, as it&#039;s super effective and produces almost no side effects."
