Lamotrogine did nothing for me at 200mg for 4 moths. However, I had not side effects. It was harmless to me but very few get a dangerous rash you have to watch for when titrating up.

Been taking 400 mgs for quite a few years. One of the best things I have taken.

I take it, it helps, has taken away my anger and irritability, and helps the depression, and somewhat with manic episodes.

I'm not a fan. However, I'm still taking some. After years of use, I don't know if is activating or depressive. I change it to the night, after as few weeks to the morning, and nothing. Good luck.

Well, I guess this drug is off the table for me anyway. Apparently I'm allergic. Is there anything else that isn't Seroquel or Lithium?

Trileptal...but I'm not sure if you can take it if you are allergic to Lamictal? I had side effects on Lamictal but not Trileptal, and it works better for me. It's another seizure medication.
Thanks for this!

Thanks, I'll ask my doctor tomorrow.
