"my experience with lamictal is different for me in most cases. i used to take 25mg of lamictal. when i had taken the meds everyday i didn&#039;t feel any different from when i wasn&#039;t taking them. i had no side effects it was like taking air. so i kept having suicidal thoughts &amp; being angry at 8am &amp; by 8:30 am i was happy. i just had different moods every 30 mins. so i talked to my doctor and told her the meds werent working i told her how i was feeling so she gave me 100mg. ever since then i have had no feeling what so ever. like i can choose what to care about &amp; what not to care about. i&#039;ll be fine all day and by 8-9 o&#039;clock pm all of my bipolar &amp; depression hits me like a wave of sadness that i feel like i&#039;m drowning in. i guess its worth it.."
