I'm newly diagnosed Bi-polar 2 (I've posted previously) and was just prescribed Lamictal. I'm really afraid to take this medication even though I've read up on it and it seems like a good choice. My fear is what will happen if I'm not really BP-2 and I take the Lamictal? Will it harm me? Will it make me feel worse? I've been on several AD's and just recently weaned off of Zoloft. It seemed to work at first but then I started to feel worse and worse. I tried different AD's with the same results. I just thought I had some kind of AD resistant depression or it was because of my thyroid but then I get this diagnosis of BP-2. I also have a non-toxic, multinodular goiter and take a very low dose of Levothroid for that. I'm not in denial, I'm just afraid of what will happen to me if I take the Lamictal and I reallly don't need it. I've had such bad experiences with the AD's that I'm afraid the same thing will happen with the Lamictal. I hope they're not confusing my thyroid problem with bi-polar disorder.
Please, can anyone help me out here? I'm really scared.

Thanks,
