I'm on 400 mg of Lamictal. It's helped a lot and does not give me any side effects. I had to be patient since this medication takes a very long time to taper up on. It's especially good for depression, in my experience. It prevents as much mood cycling as I've had previously.

Occasionally I feel a little hypo on it, but I'm on other meds too that help more with the manic side of things. I cannot be on any traditional antidepressants due to them making me manic, so Lamictal works well for me without causing that effect. Sometimes I get a little hypo on it, but more so when I first started taking it. So I would say give it time. I hope it helps you.
