"i&#039;ve been on 100mg lamotrigine for 9 years now. i started it after a major depressive episode. no side effects that i can tell, which is a huge boon compared to ssris (weight gain, feeling hungry all the time, and no libido) and welbutrin made me feel like i was on speed. it is a mood stabilizer, not so much an ad. i went from having anxious and depressed episodes every few weeks to having them rarely. after a few years i tried upping my dosage to 200mg, but i felt too &#039;flat&#039; emotionally and went back to 100. i still feel some depression, but the cycling is greatly reduced. really a miracle drug for me.  i recommend titrating up (and down) very slowly, to avoid getting the rash.  it takes a while , but it was so worth it for me."
