BiPolar II

I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar II after suffering dramatic ups and downs for the past 3 years. it came as quite a shock, i used be so happy go lucky when i was younger. I am on Lamictin(lamictal generic) and just moved up to 100mg a day. Once side effect I had before of BP2 which seems to have gotten worse is binging....i am now doing it every day, mostly in the evenings. I hate myself because I wake up so positive about not doing it but by the time i get home from work i end up eating like a huge bowl of pasta and then drinking loads of water to make myself throw up. this is so gross and stupid and i know that! so why cant i stop? my depression seems to have disipated, but now this....should i go up to 200 a day even though i am less depressed? is there a big difference between 100 and 200? i am going to my psychiatrist on Thursday so will ask her but thought maybe someone had something similar happen to them.


Thanks
