"lamotragine saved my life. the depression was so debilitating except when extreme physical and emotional agitation, mostly caused by meds. 20 years of this (misdiagnosed for most of it).



i&#039;m so grateful i didnt get the rash. i lost a little hair in the beginning, but it stopped. no weight gain, and able to (healthily) lose the 50lbs i gained with lithium. but, i do struggle with insomnia, melatonin doesn&#039;t work so well for me.



i took 150mg for 1st yr. 300 for past 3 years, but agitation is getting bad-i need to lower my stress, (all that stuff we&#039;re supposed to do) and possibly go up to 350/400."
