"i was diagnosed bipolar after suffering a mental breakdown in college which left me institutionalized used for 2 weeks. before my therapist prescribed me lamictal (100mg) and klonopin (.05mg) i was a total mess. lamictal truly saved my life. it helps me act less irrationally and impulsively, hold a job for longer than 6mons, maintain healthy relationships with loved ones, i feel more focused and driven. i have had no negative side effects."
