Well I start taking lamictal tonight. I finally gave in and asked to be put on a mood stabilizer. I'm hoping it will help with the persistent mood swing especially the irritibility and depression. while not as severe as it is when I'm on no medication at all its still very frustrating. so wish me luck with this one lol

What dose are you starting on?

It's a very safe medication to take with no real noticeable side effects. You have to start at a low dose and work your way up because it can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Just from my own experience on it for the last few years, it does more to control mania than it does depression. You mileage may vary.

I've been on it for about seven years at 400 mg, and it has been good so far. Good luck to you.

Lamictal is awesome for me. Once I got up to 200 mg, I'm on cloud 9.

Lamictal has saved my life.
For me, it has worked wonderfully.
