    I have been taking this drug for 18years. It really helps my mood and anxiety. I can’t say enough great things about it! Be careful of the manufacturer though, because generics vary 20% from brand. I prefer Teva Lamotrigine above all others and Cipla is the very worst.

Other than that, it is helpful for me .

    It has substantially helped me with my Bipolar type 2 . I am able to function and although I'm not out there running around full of joy and happiness. I am able to lead a life and not sit in bed moping all day. It helps level out my emotions as well which range from completely depressed to just uncomfortable and unhappy to normal with little onslaughts of sadness here and there. I wouldn't ...
