Hi I have been recently diagnosed with bipolar after a heartbreaking manic episode that lasted the better part of a year fueled by drugs, alcohol and prescription meds. I am now trying to battle through this deep depression sobriety guilt and loss of what I did and who I hurt during my last episode, I have started Lamictal and although it's only been a week i'm wondering if it's actually going to help my bipolar depression or eventually sent me spiralling out of control like the Effexor did? I too share the obsession to research hoping that this horrible life i'm living can be cured with silly things like fish oils or hyperglycemic diets. I'm so frustrated and exhausted and so are my family and what friends I have left. I'm so worried i'm going to lose the few loved ones that remain in my life. I guess i'm just looking for someone with experience in this disaster to lead me in the right direction. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
AJB
