Experiences?

I'm nervous about this. Mostly about withdrawal as I taper off of lamictal though. When I did it before it was really an intense/uncomfortable/lousy experience.
Depakote worked really well for me. But my hair started falling out in clumps, even with the vitamins they recommend to prevent it. That was the only side effect I had though. Good luck with it!
Thanks for this!
