I did very well when I was smoking weed. In fact I did so well I really thought the doctors were wrong about my diagnosis. Weed was my medication but then ended up with 2 problems, BP and an addiction problem. I too have been on Lamictal for over a year now. Stopped the weed and the med is working absolute wonders for me. My hope is that it works for you too. In this world of BP we do what we need to do to survive. :hug
