I took Lamictal about three years ago, tried it as a substitute for Depakote. It did work well for me but about 8 months into treatment, I did get that terrible purple rash that leads to the dangerous stuff so had to quit and go back to Depakote. I think I was on a max of 150mg. No noticeable side effects until the reaction. Note that the reaction can some anytime, not just at the beginning.
