"This drug has been a life-saver for me. It has worked where other mood stabilizers either didn&#039;t work or had intolerable side effects. I&#039;ve used it for 8 years now, at doses ranging from 150-425 mg. Currently I&#039;m on 250 mg. When I started Lamictal I had a bipolar diagnosis and took it as an add-on to lithium. My diagnosis has since been changed to recurrent major depression and a personality disorder, but Lamictal still works, along with an antidepressant. I do get (non-dangerous) skin rashes from this unless I take antihistamines daily, but it&#039;s been worth it."
