Lamictal worked really well for me. My main problem is depression. So it was more of a mood stabilizer for me.

The thing is I was rapid cycling until I reached my target dose. My mood would switch every few hours and it took weeks until I got to the target dose but once I was there things worked out really well.

I had to stop it after 4 years of taking it because it was damaging my liver. I suggest you ask your doctor for a liver function test once a year as part of your regular blood work. Better to catch lover damage early instead of late as was my case.
