I can't comment on whether or not you will ultimately need medication or have bipolar disorder, but I can recommend that you do taper the Lamictal fairly gradually. If discontinued too rapidly, it can cause a rebound depression - something that even a mentally healthy person might experience. I can't offer a precisely optimized taper schedule for you personally, but if you can afford the time, you might want to think about reducing the dosage by 25mg every week. Based upon my own experiences with Lamictal, this seems reasonable.
