Hello everyone,

Hope that all is well. Was hoping to hear from some others with bipolar about their experienced with Lamictal. I have been on Depakote for a year but I just cannot take that zombified feeling any more, if you want to know what its like to be a living corpse try 1500mg of Depakote extended release lol. Anyways went to my doc today and he agreed to switch me over to Lamictal. Thankfully I'm not on 1500mg anymore just on 500 so my tapering time is a bit shorter, but my main concern is that rash what I have heard about aswell as whether it actually stimulates the mind or is sedative. I have heard differing stories as to whether it actually makes you sleepy or awake. Obviously I know a drug reacts differently to everybody's body but I would just like to hear some experiences with the drug. Thanking you in advance for your responses .
