I've been on Lamictal for almost 9 years, and really only noticed the balance, memory and speaking/writing issues when my dose hit 300 mg/day. Now I'm on a whopping 500 mg and it's really dicey. But it does a good job as a mood stabilizer, and anything else would probably have the same side effects anyway so I just live with it.
