"i was diagnosed with bipolar ii when i was 18 years old. i have been on lamictal for a year and a half now. within a month of starting this medication i saw amazing results. i have experienced no depression and no hypomania whatsoever. after having bipolar ii really run my life in my teen years and cause me to temporarily lose sight of myself, i feel like i have reconnected with who i truly am since starting this medication. i feel more myself than i have in so many years. i still feel things deeply hence unlike some antidepressants which numb you, per my own experience, lamictal does not. if you truly have bipolar ii, this is a wonderful medication. much love to you all on this tumultuous journey; stay strong and never lose hope."
