Benefits of taking lamotrigine?

Hi, kentalan!
I have bipolar l with mostly depressive episodes... lamotrigine has changed all that. Nothing else really touched my depression until my psych prescribed the lamotrigine. As a bonus I had no side effects! Here is a list that might help answer some of your questions.
"Effective for bipolar depression: It is particularly effective at treating and preventing bipolar depressive episodes.
Prevents mood cycling: It helps stabilize moods over time, preventing or delaying relapses into manic or depressive states.
Ideal for "mixed states": It is helpful for patients who experience a mix of manic and depressive symptoms simultaneously.
Well-tolerated: It is generally well-tolerated and is less likely to cause a "medicated" or groggy feeling compared to other mood stabilizers.
Benefits treatment-resistant cases: It can be effective for some patients who do not respond to other mood stabilizers."
