Lamictal has been a godsend to me. 150 mg for about 5 years now, I don't remember ever having side effects, and I haven't had a major depression since (which is pretty miraculous).
Does not help me with mania. I take 200mg Seroquel at night and 100mg in the morning. More when needed, when I have an episode, and it's gone up pretty high, and then afterwards, down 50mg per week, which leads to tons of oversleeping at that point. The side effects are terrible. The whole idea of 'needing' it is a big issue for me, and it's something I've dealt with in therapy off and on. I do need it, though. I've tried to get off it three times now and no dice, not going to try that again.
