Drugs are drugs... what works for some don't work for others.

Unfortunately it's trial and error.

Like Januarys reaction to lamictal, which was very serious with the rash...and now with trying Lithium, which she's doing great on (which btw those 2 drugs are in the same family).

I myself did awful on lithium with horrible side effects on lithium...scarred my face and gained a ton of weight and it caused serious damage to my thryoid. I'm on lamictal though and do great...lol.

So I think it's all to do with your own personal chemistry and there are no guarantees with what happens to one ...will happen to another.

Whichever you decide ... hope it works out for you darkeyes

Take care
