Dear Kay,
WElcome to the bipolar forums!
I have to say that you may need a med to slow you down, lamictal really helps on the depression side but I don't think it helps with the manic side.
YOu may need to take an anti psychotic for a short time basis to bring down the mania. I take geodon, with out side effects for me.
there are others you may have heard of.
abilify, seroquel, some take that to sleep as well., zyprexa but only on a really short term basis, geodon which I take long term but I am bipolar 1 and need it for maintenence.
I am sorry that you are going thru all of this and wish you had more support.
Call you pdoc/nurse on monday!
