bipolar disorde
"Following about 4 months of being in a depressed state for little to no apparent reason (things were going good in my life), I added Lamictal to what I was taking.  Along with Lithium, I took Lamictal for Bipolar.  Lamictal worked very effectively to remove depression in a week.  The issue was that I got out of depression so quickly, that I actually entered into a moderate manic episode.  The episode did not lead to hospitalization, but had many of the elements that manic episodes have involving spending and lack of sleep and grandious thoughts and behavior.  I didn't experience any negative side effects with the drug, and I just think for me the drug jolted me too much.  No rash or anything, just scared me since I entered the manic."
