Anyone taking Lamictal? I take 200mg and I have quite a process just to be able to swallow it. I'm wondering how others manage it. The tablet starts disolving before I can swallow it and it's so bitter I feel like a cat foaming at the mouth as you force medicine down its throat. I found that eating spicy food first helped, but I've ended up buying gel caps, crushing the tablet with mortar and pestle, pouring it in with a folded business card, and packing it down with the end of a makeup brush.

Does it taste that bitter to anyone else?
