Hello hashiBP2?......Welcome to PC. bipolar forum.

It is very hard to accept a diagnostic. I still question mine, after five years.
We all want to be healthy.
In the specific case of the Lamictal, I've been taking it from the start.
No major side effects that I can speak of. And at the time, lifted my depresion.
I went up to 200mg very slowly. Like is customary.
It's an anticonvulsant used for epilepsy. In 2004 was approved for bipolar.
It is your decision at the end, however, you will be starting in the softest
mood stabilizer in the market. Only concern is SJR. Odds, 1:6000.

Post as many times as you wish. You are not alone anymore, We are here for you.
