Lamictal helps a good deal with reduction of suicidal ideation. It also helps reduce both intensity and occurance of rage. I definitely like not having constant battles with raging - and it is interesting to see my coworkers often get angrier about situations than I do.

Things I am currently needing the most relief in is sleeping and anxiety. Depression comes back pretty fast if I do not regularly take Lamictal.

I am very sensitive to meds. Usually I start taking about one tenth of what I am asked to take and gradually titrate upwards. Many meds give me extreme side-effects when I am still taking what is considered to be sub-clinical quantities.
