Lamictal has been a life-saver for me. I also take Lithium, Seroquel, Valium and others. Lamictal has pushed the Bipolar Depression right back and enabled me to be much more functional - nothing like a "normie", I'm still on the Disability Pension and probably will be for ever, but my quality of life is much improved. I hear so many good reports on the Net from other Bipolars about this drug.
