I'm bipolar 1 and take lamictal 150 mg and topamax 100mg is this enough medicine to keep my moods stable?

Possibly: Bipolar I (older term is manic-depressive) is a serious psychiatric disorder. You should be seen regularly by a psychiatrist to best answer your question. Goal of meds is to control extremes of mood swings and restore more normal functioning. Meds are individualized, so this combination may be fine for you. But be safe and keep regular appointments with prescribing doc, who should know you well.
