"i was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder exactly one year ago. after about 4 weeks on lamictal, i noticed a huge change. i could feel feelings again. the bubble of depression, rage and mania i lived in popped. i could communicate again, without getting frustrated with everyone.  i am taking lamictal with wellbutrin and abilify. no side-effects and my life - both professional and personal - has done a complete about-face. i am happy again. i remember how happy feels, and i&#039;m there."
