Overall I've had good experiences (on it 5 years 1200mg) but I have poisoned myself a few times. Well, the weather has and my exercise habits (didn't drink enough), but it's great stuff.

My organs are behaving too, but it's something that should be monitored....I hear it does go wrong.

BUT my stability is alright and I'm pretty much using it as mono now (tapering off of lamictal, last little step). Weight gain isn't an issue with me and that, I had that more with Seroquel and such.
