I'm on Lamictal 150mg and so far it's been a good med for me, been on it since November of last year, very few.side effects too, but for me it is activating so I take.it in the morning. I do think I might have to add in an antidepressant again though cause even though the med has evened out my moods (very few hypomanic states) it doesn't seem to be working as well with the depression even with an antipsychotic added in. But I still like the Lamictal, and don't worry too much about the east as long as you go up in dose slowly, it shouldn't happen to you. Hop this advice helps, hugs
