Hello Jack
Sorry you are feeling so crappy.
I'm probably not in a better place but I have a similar history with regards having had many many antidepressant (and other) treatments and ending up with the bipolar II diagnosis.
I'm on Lamictal now also; I just got up to 175mg. For me there has definitely been a positive effect so I'll probably stay on it and add something else as well if it's not enough. It took me 3 months to get up to this dose though and I've had some gradual improvement.
Do you think you haven't noticed anything much changing since you started Lamictal? Was it a month ago you started it?
If it and the topomax are your first mood stabilisers there must still be a lot of other options for you.
