Comment:
I was on the medication for only 3 days for BPD. I wasn't showing or feeling any anger issues, but for the last 2 days i was on it, i had this uncontrollable rage inside of me. I could feel this anger coursing through my veins and my head. It was very scary! I was constantly irritable. Many of the people i know that take this don't like it either.

Comment:
i was taking the regular generic lamictal, because of the cost, but I couldn't swallow the pill b/c of the terrible taste. So I swithced to the dissentigrating tablets which are much better. But I am noticing side effects that I didnt have before, like EXCESSIVE drowsiness. I can barely keep my eyes open to write this. Anyone else exoerience this?

I took this for 6 months without a problem. My stomach starting feeling like it was on fire after I would take it each morning. I also noticed that it started to only work some days but not others.
