Thanks for the replies everyone. The lamictal is going ok so far. No zombie head or sex drive problems. But did anyone have vision problems with it? I thought I just needed new glasses, but that hasn't helped. Also seem to be getting a lot of mouth ulcers, but that's usually food related for me so maybe just a coincidence.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this is the miracle drug my doc makes it out to be. I always worry about those magic bullets though and the nasty exit wounds. But if this is the worst it gets, it's not so bad I guess.
