bipolar disorde
"I am 58 years old and diagnosed last year with mild bipolar disorder, agoraphobia, anxiety.  I felt very happy most of my life although having behavioral problems, and didn't start having real problems until I was 50. I tried Wellbutrin and it gave me hives. Celexa made me so wired that I couldn't sleep and felt like I was going crazy. Effexor worked but I was tired all day.  Lamictal was miraculous. I have taken it for a year. It gives me energy, I feel happy and motivated.  I don't feel angry anymore. I LOVE it. I gave it a 9 because it gives me memory problems which I do not like. But I feel that it is really a lack of concentration. So I try harder to concentrate and it helps when I do more mental things, like read."
