I agree that there was no reason for medication when I was little. I may have been loud but I was happy and the "life of the party". However I know that, as of right now, medication is necessary.
I have been on mood stabilizers before. I have been put on Lamitcal on more than one occasion and it does stabilize my mood but it stabilizes it at a very low level.
As far as I can tell, I am more depressed than I am bipolar. Still, my doctor is stumped by the energy surge and instant mood spike after coming off medication. It happened most recently last fall where after being on Wellburtin with minimal results, I came off of it cold turkey and within a week I was flying high.
