I have extreme hypersensitivity to all drugs and like you, Nessa, when I was on Lamictal several years ago, for a month, I felt stable and good...then I began to get hypomanic, going to sleep later and later, so sleeping less, Psychiatrist said, "Not good." and Lamictal was history. It is good for depression but it needs to be coupled with something to tamp down hypomania/mania.
