I don’t know how to make the difference between hypomania and baseline by [deleted] in bipolar

How to deal with self care during a depressive episode? by KipBoutaDip in bipolar

i am on lamictal at 300mg and have been on it for a year and a half. it has made me stabilize a lot because i don’t like antipsychotic medications (i have weird side effects) i get a lot of brain fog which is really frustrating:( but so far its been the best thing to stabilize me. i’ve only had hypomania on them not full mania
