Wonderful news, Amy! If Lamictal and depakote don't work, you might want to try Lamictal and lithium. Good old lithium, never thought I'd be happy to be taking it.
> Hi,
> I had my first appointment with my pdoc this afternoon. She was very kind. She agrees with me that I am bipolar and have just come out of a nasty mixed state. She thanked me for doing all the research on it cause it makes her job easier when she is talking to an informed person (so thats a thanks to you guys as well!).
