"lamictal has been the most all round effective medication i have take and that is saying a lot for a patient of 40 years. what i mean by that is my system rejected all antidepressants and antipsychotics because of a side effect called akathesia. i sustained on lithium and klonopin alone for a long time.
back then doctors were scared to death of lamictal because of the rash that few to none got when properly prescribed. i couldn&#039;t find one to prescribe so i got it from my family doctor. that was the best day of my life. i titrated the lithium while slowly adding the lamictal with no problems. i have been taking 450mg a day ever since. i also noticed how badly 30 years of lithium had hurt me. i no longer knew myself."
