Hey St. John,
After reading Barbara's post, I have to agree. I first tried lamictal alone and it didn't do a thing for me. When I had it with lithium, it made a significant difference.
I too, had the switch from being diagnosed as unipolar to bipolar - it's quite common. But either way, you could try lithium. There is no rule that you must be bipolar to take it. I know some unipolars use it.
In the end, I think that the diagnosis doesn't really matter. There are so many different types of mental illness and so many variations of each diagnosis. All we care about is getting the meds that work for us, right?
