Let me put it this way: They will pry my Lamictal out of my cold, dead hands. ;-)

I have been on 4 mood stabilizers in the last 16 months. Lamictal is the first one that worked, either at all, or without horrible side effects. It takes a long time to gear up to a useful dose -- for me that was 100 mg, am now on 150 mg -- but man, once you hit it, it's heaven. At least for me. No more fine-one-hour, suicidal-the-next stuff -- just nice and steady and stable. I love it!
