"lamictal gave me two ulcers, failed a drug screen for one of the best jobs around (said i had pcp in my system), debilitating headaches and gained an immense amount of weight. i was hospitalized for attempted suicide and my doc got mad when i weaned myself off. having said that, i know lots of people that has had great success with it. i guess it all depends on the individual. not all bipolar cases are the same."
