Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;ve been bi-polar since I&#039;ve been 19 and am now 58. 

I&#039;ve been taking lamictal 50mg daily for at least 20 years. I also was taking Wellbutrin 200mg daily for the depression which I just went off (tapered gradually over 6months) for the first time in 20 years. I am very stable and this I attribute to the lamictal. It&#039;s been a real life saver for me. I&#039;ve been out of the hospital for 30 years. I am a successful nurse. I&#039;m married and have 2 beautiful children who are now married. It&#039;s not easy. I never thought life would be normal back in my early diagnosis days. Don&#039;t give up. Take the meds but always tweak them with the doc if they don&#039;t feel right for you. Keep busy and find something do with with your life that gives you value. :)"
