I'm on 200mg of Lamictal and I feel that it has helped. I think my dose needs to be upped a little now as I have taken it for 2 years. You can also try Wal Mart for the med. They have a program for people with low income or no insurance and you can get some meds for as little as 5 dollars. I don't know if you would have to fill out any paper work but, I would give them a call and see what they say.
