I have had it for 34 years. Still find it hard but at least my highs aren't as extreme now which was the most destructive thing for me

yes that's what I take it for too. I'm also in sulphaselazine. Methotrexate is new for me so I'm just waiting to see if it helps. How have you found it?

Several years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 bipolar. I started lamictal after that and it helped tremendously at least for a while.

I am Rick. I was diagnosed as bipolar type two, rapid cycling, back in 2001. I went through a lot of different medication’s but now I take Lamictal and Wellview trend and trazodone for sleep. My psychiatrist just increased my Lamictal because over the past four months, I’ve been really cycling quickly.

Hey, I was bipolar 2 for a very long time until last year they re diagnosed me with Bipolar 1, due to me having a full blown manic episode. I also have BPD which I’m struggling with more so than my bipolar.

Bipolar II here with borderline personality as well. Lamotrigine (Lamictal), Aripiprazole (Abilify) and Venlafaxine (Effexor) along with regular therapy are helping keep me pretty stable. Been through the DBT program a few times and it honestly saved my life. I purchased the book, workbook and these decks of cards with skill summaries on them. I refer to them when I'm struggling.
