Looking for experiences with Lamictal for Bipolar 2

I take that medicine. I too have bipolar 2. I have noticed improvement. There have been times where I have run out of my medicine and I noticed the difference big time. I do still have episodes not as bad but I do notice improvement in myself. I take the Lamictal along with a venlafaxine and together help to point but I do feel that my mood swings still get the best of me sometimes.

I was on lamictal for a few months. I stopped taking it because I broke out in hives one day. It was most likely an allergic reaction to something else, but out of an abundance of caution we decided it was best to stop taking it. I never really liked the way I felt on lamictal anyway, although at the time it was one of the most effective treatments I had tried. But it honestly made me feel like I had a lobotomy. My memory was awful and I was so sluggish and exhausted and I just felt like brain dead. I was also still fairly depressed. I’m on trazodone now and I have to say it’s probably saved my life. After god only knows how long of trying it’s the first time I finally feel normal- no ups and downs- and like myself again

I take lamictal for bipolar one and it's honestly saved me, I do still get bouts of slight mania but not near as bad as I did before I got on the medication, I'm still working on my dosing, so far I'm only on 200mg and it's doing its job for the most part but I think I may move up. It really has made a huge difference in my life.
