"lamictal has been working pretty good so far.  my only complaint is lately depression is creeping up on me, but this could be just part of the &quot;winter blues.&quot;  on lamictal, i am not emotionless; it just helps with the dramatic mood swings (i have bipolar type 1).  i was given lamictal as an option due to the fact that i requested a medicine that will not make me gain weight.  as i was told, i do notice lamictal seems to be weight-neutral, which is a good thing.  i haven&#039;t been on lamictal more than a few months yet, but i am hoping it continues doing its job."
