A lot of meds haven't worked for me, but I took Lamictal for a long time with no problems. It's just that they tanked me up so much on it (max dosage) for so long that it evidently built up to a toxic level. So, I went off of it.

But I know folks who take it and are very satisfied. And I know for many docs it seems to be the go-to drug as a stabilizer.

Of course, we don't know until we try. But I'm like you, I like to ask other folks about a med before I pop one of them into my mouth.
