I recently started visiting a psychiatrist. He has diagnosed me as having Bipolar 1 disorder.

Per his recommendation, I started taking Lamictal a few days ago. Because of the danger of allergic reaction, I am on a gradually increase dosage. Currently I take 25mg once a day and by the end of five weeks I will reach my full 100mg once a day dosage. So far there are no changes.

I am curious to know if anyone has experience with Lamictal. How did it work for you? What side effects have you experienced? Has anyone had experience with long term use? Any side effects from long term use? Also, has anyone taken Lamictal in combination with other drugs? How has that worked?

Thanks a bunch
