"i began taking lamictal for lower body spasticity due to an injury to my cns. my neurologist decided to try lamictal in order to prevent these seizure-like episodes from occurring daily, and it worked; however, it made an even bigger impact on my mental and emotional state. at 19, i&#039;ve dealt with depression, severe anxiety, and irritability for approximately 5 years now, and the stability i gained from taking this medication (for convulsions!) has absolutely changed my life."
