Joe....I suppose you want the good reviews along with the bad...I too took Depakote and within months looked like a big ole pig....in the past 6 months I was tried on Lamictal...I was wide open manic when we started the titration and as you know, with the wide open manic comes irritability which is also one of the side effects of Lamictal...well by the time I reached 100mg, I was in a state of what they called "lamictal induced RAGE"....I was firing everybody, my Internist of 14 yrs, my Pdoc and even my husband (my Internist and husband refused to be fired thank goodness). Needless to say, the lamictal was stopped. Just something you may want to watch for along with the more publized rash.
Good luck...
