Been on Lamictal since November after years of therapy, things have been mostly great til recently. Somehow, I slipped into a depressive phase. Now, it’s nothing but hopelessness and lethargy and self-blame. My marriage is, once again, suffering.

Do the mood swings ever end while you’re on medication? Can they ever truly be prevented? What do you do when they slip in? What, ideally, should a partner be doing in this situation?

I just want it to end. I’m so tired of this.
