buying microwaves

I went out and bought 3 microwaves. The next day I didn't know where they came from. Bi-polar has hurt my credit card. I started taking lamotrigine and it really stabled my mind. It is the only thing that has worked for me so far. Although very rare, if you start it, watch out for rashes that are serious and life threating. Start with a low dose and work up to about 200mg a day in 2 doses.
Good Luck!

Yeah I do stuff like this like apparently I withdrew the last $20 in my bank account at some point before I intended to.  So I went to an ATM and saw it wasn't there and was like well f*ck this was a wasted trip and then I looked in my wallet later and there the $20 was.  I also put loafs of bread in the sink before without being aware of it.

i don't get you, is it a monologue to yourself or for the forum members. do you mean you start having spending sprees perhaps i.e. you want to buy anything. this happens to many of us while manic.

good that lamictal works well for you. although i know that it doesn't help in mania but your case shows that it doesn't bring mania too.

in many forums i found that lamictal is the best MS that people get accustomed to it, except for the rash of course which is quite rare. the dose can be much higher than 200 though. i took it for 4 weeks only and it was great at first then somehow i got something like seizures although it is taken to prevent them. more strange i took the infantile dose 8mg only but believe me it works well. very good for depression also. i regret to have stopped it that quickly and to give it up for antipsychotics now.
