I am on lamictal (Lamotragene) as a mood stabilizer. I had a hard time going on it (very med sensitive) but am now stablized on my dose after a year. It does help - when I miss one I get manic, dangerous, and sui. and often self injure. I don't like having to be on it, but missing one reminds me real fast why I am.
good luck with whatever you choose.
