The poster "Geezer" went through this and after 20 or so years discovered he/she was actually bipolar. So maybe lamictal would be a good choise. But I doubt this is the case in your situation .... probable just poop out.

I was diagnosed as bipolar II a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if the dx is right though: the only thing i know is that i used to get such a temporary relief/depression breakthrough without meds: this short lived healing experience seems to fade away wih time no matter what. I don't know if this is typical of bipolars.
By the way i was told not to try Wellbutrin as i might get manic. I wasn't at ease with the pdoc who has diagnosed me as bipolar II as he labelled me borderline also. He doesn't know a thing about me and this guy is giving me labels after half an hour interview! Can't believe this. He noticed i was angry + told him about my past history of abuse and thought "she must be borderline".
I'm supposed to call a psichopharmacologist woman i felt comfortable with tomororrow: i'll stick to Effexor and see what she's going to tell me. Did Geezer feel good with mood stabilizers? I'm going to look for her posts on the archive.Thanks for the info!
