I can't praise this drug highly enough. At the age of 59, I'm finally leading a level life - without quiting jobs in a rage, moving my family 1,400 miles to a house I'd never seen. Due to troubles with sleeping, I also take Seroquel.

I have had Bipolar Disorder for over 15 years and have had seven hospital admissions. I was put on Lamictal about 4 years ago when I had a transplant as my previous meds interacted with my anti- rejection drug. Lamictal is the best medication for Bipolar Disorder I have ever been on. Since I've been taking it my mood has been very stable and I feel like I have all my normal emotions back. I've also kept out of hospital even with all the stress of my physical problems and no side effects.

Lamictal works great for bipolar disorder! I took it for 6 months and that has been the only 6 months in my life where I have truly felt like a real person. I regretably had to stop taking it due to the fact that I got the rash it warns about, and have since gotten back into trying to find a medication that will work. I wish I could take it with all my heart but I cant but for anyone wondering if they should try it or not, I give it a 100% yes.

great med. Worked within two weeks. Full affect by 4 weeks. This med ALONE keeps me where I need to be. I am bipolor with severe anxiety and depression. This works wonders!

Im up to 200mg per day, and honestly, I really dont know how much its helping me. I seem to be a lot better, but I think the Clonopin does a lot more for me.

It keeps me very stable. My only gripes are that there's a really bitter taste if it gets stuck to your tongue, the shape is ridiculous to swallow (It's like a pentagon lol) and my psychiatrist didn't know that there is more and more info coming out that suggests that it interacts with the birth control pill. My little one is 2 weeks old and she definitely wasn't planned. I took the pill perfectly too. Just a heads up :)

have been taking lamictal for two months and this drug has had NO side effects whatsoever. has erased all thoughts of constant fear of death and scariness from my life every day that were consuming me for no reason. am NOT depressed but had consuming fear. i feel reborn and have tried anti depressants before that have not worked..many of them. this is definitely a mood stabilizer at it's best.

I'm bipolar with severe depression & anxiety attacks. I've been on Lamictal for 2 yrs. Since then my anxiety attacks have almost stopped. I do not have the rages of anger like I used to. Lamictal has hugely made my life better.
