Please post your Lamictal (Lamotrigine) experiences here, positive or negative.

I am currently on Lamictal, 200mg. I was at 400mg at one point, but it made me feel too "foggy" -- i.e., I couldn't concentrate well and my short-term memory was rather bad.

I'm not sure it helps very much with stabilizing my mood because I still get ups and downs with it, BUT it has definitely has gotten rid of my severe anger issues, so I continue to take it for that reason alone. (Prior to lamictal, I would be physically violent. I destroyed expensive things like laptops, phones, etc.. I also kicked holes through two doors and dented a fridge with my foot. Then I physically hit my dad and shoved him sometimes. Very violent.)

No side effects from Lamictal. Maybe a little sedation, but nothing that bad. I get 9-10 hours a night instead of my normal 7-8 when I'm off meds entirely.
