Lamictal has been a god sent to my family. All three of us have had no side effects but my vision did quickly deteriorate I didn't even connection it to my medications until newtothis said something. Adding Wellbutrin to my mix sent me over the top.

With me (150 mg) it doesn't prevent (hypo)mania but gives me a bit more control over it. I still need an anti psychotic as needed and an anti depressant / anti psychotic medication. I cannot say I'm stable but closer than I've ever been. I feel my lamictal maybe to low. It has stabilized me to high probably.

My husband takes 200mg. It stabilized him to low. In a depressive episode they had to increase his anti depressant and add an anti psychotic to stabilize him but he's well now.

My son takes it for mood swings it does well until about 6 pm. We had to add abilify to his medicine so the plan is to remove lamictal so he's only taking one small pill a day.
