Consider change: Sorry your medications have not been helping. If you are on lamictal for bipolar disorder, your physician can consider switching you to lithium or another medication.See a healthtap therapist for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also believe that changing your diet and focusing on getting a healthy amount of exercise can really help. Most importantly, believe in yourself and you will improve.
