Unless something horribly extreme happens to me, I usually have the "soft" type. When I was able to take Lamictal, it did help. I developed the allergic rash from it and everything else had side effects that I can't tolerate.

I've had to learn to think about what I'm doing and try to make sure I self monitor for things like forced speech, irritation, and spending too much money. I am really blessed because I have no peoblem taking things back for a refund.
