My 8 year old has been on Lamictal for a few weeks now, and WOW! what a difference it has made!! My son is so much happier, his moods way more even, not all over the place anymore, he doesn't blow up all the time anymore, but he's still himself, not zombie-fied, which is what I was afraid of. We don't argue all the time anymore, and he's much more fun to be around again. I bet he feels better too, it must have been rough feeling so out of control.
I am so so so glad that I had him evaluated. I got my son back!!
