I was diagnosed back in September and out on depakote for a while and recently switched to lomatrigine. I started it a week ago and I feel a HUGE difference in my mood and motivation. Like night and day, I feel more energetic, I exercise again, I’m eating healthier, I’m more outgoing, etc.

However these were all signs of a manic episode previously so I’m just worried because usually the depressive episode comes shortly after.

This is all still pretty new to me so I just wanted some thoughts or hear others experiences with bipolar treatments.
