It's worked really well for me so far. I've been up to dosage (200 mg for me) for 3 weeks now, and it's evened me out considerably. Took the nice slow titration route (like their "starter packs" have, though I didn't have one of those) and experienced no troubles with side effects (I had a couple days of achey muscles, no biggie) My biggest trouble is with the depression side of things and it's definitely reduced the invasive thoughts in a big way. And taken away that.... visceral level of despair that comes with a bad depression.

I still have some up and down, but not nearly what it was.

(As an added bonus, it's taken away my desire to "self-medicate" with drinking! I know that was a bad thing to do, but let's face it, a lot of folks do, so it's a good thing to know. In fact, I just got back from a bar, where everyone was drinking. I had soda water and a bowl of and it didn't bother me in the least. Ha, at least till people started repeating themselves, then I went home!)

(Just peeked in the other thread... glad to hear your appt. went well, BNSsMOM!)
Good luck with the Lamictal!!!
