The Lamictal was working well for me at 300mg per day before I ran out and couldn't afford to refill. I would recommend it as a mood stabilizer, seems like it worked well with few side effects. I preferred it to the others like Seroquel and Depakote. Currently I am taking only lithium because it is cheap and I can feel the difference with the Lamictal missing. My mood has been very unstable. So I think it was working for me. I do know that you are supposed to start and stop it slowly. Good luck!
