I'm on Lamictal and it works great. It takes a while for the drug to build up in your system and you have to be sure you check for any signs of a rash, but it really has helped me immensely. I'm bipolar II and this is the first med that has been able to control the depressive moods.

After being on it for a while I've noticed some difficulty with memory retrieval. I'm not missing memories only having to take extra time to process and access information. My doc is dropping my dosage slightly to see if the memory retrieval issue improves. The other side effect I have is extremely dry skin.

Good Luck!
