I tried Lamictal twice. The second time I stuck with it for months. It didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on me, good or bad. I was told that the effect would be subtle. Well, it didn't help at all. Didn't seem to bother me though. My weight didn't change. That is a real expensive drug, btw. I guess it must do good for some, or they wouldn't be able to sell it.
