I love Lamictal. Very few side effects. When I am "stable" I am on Lamictal alone. Right now I'm on Lamictal along with Lithium and Seroquel which I hate. I trying to get back to that point. My current shrink thinks I need to stay on the other 2. He says if its not broke don't fix it but it is broke I keep telling him. Seroquel turns me into a zombie and I cant stand the side effects of Lithium- the thrist the peeing and the possible long term kidney and thyroid.
