Depression
"I&#039;ve been taking Lamotrigine for a few years.  When I first started it, I was amazed.  They gave it to me as a mood stabilizer.  It helped tremendously.  And still does.  I&#039;ve been afraid they&#039;d try to change it. That was one of my first medicines for severe depression.  It doesn&#039;t make you a zombie at all.  I do struggle with the making you tired or sleepy side effect.  But everything makes me tired and sleepy.  I have a couple other meds and they all make you sleepy.  I had no other side effects.  I would highly recommend trying this medication if it&#039;s offered or suggested. Give it a couple months if you&#039;re not sure if it&#039;s working.  Especially if you&#039;re trying it along with other newer medications."
