Hi Jadah,
Did you mention that you were bipolar in one of your previous posts? Or am I thinking of someone else? In any case, I have one word for you:
Lamictal.
I know some kids who used Lupron for precocious puberty and used Lamictal as well for seizures and it really stabilized their moods and made their parents really happy. (As you know these hormone problems can cause chaos in the family.) I use Lamictal at a fairly low dosage and it helps a little bit (I don't have bipolar, though).
Lamictal works on depression as well as mania, etc. etc. The one problem is that it takes a while to get to the therapeutic dose. I don't think it takes more than a month or two to get to a good dose, though (I forget--it has been a while).
