Bipolar Disorde
"Lamictal is a great medication for the depressive side of my bipolar 1 disorder, but try as I may, it is not a good mono-therapy, meaning I can&#039;t take it alone.  I need another mood stabilizing medication with it or it causes anxiety and irritability to worsen.  I&#039;m giving it 7 of 10 stars because it doesn&#039;t work for bipolar 1 as a mono-therapy and has effected my memory and ability to recall words and to read quickly.  Side effects for me are reading difficulty, memory issues, and break through anxiety and irritability."
