BPDgirl,

I believe Lamictal and some other anticonvulsants (eg depakote) have been FDA approved for treatment of Bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder had become a popular diagnosis, and many mood dysregulations have been couched under this diagnosis. The mood dysregulation of BPD (borderline) is similar to that of the other BPD (bipolar) and responds to the mood stabilizers.

As you have emphasized, it is a combination of the pharmacological and therapeutic interventions that works best, in concert. Best of luck to you.
