"i have to honestly say that my prescribed drug works for me. i do not experienece the excessive anger, compulsive highs and excessive ocd. i was never a really depressive person but was not able to think clearly thus making poor decisions. i tried several anti-depressants for many years which caused all kinds of medical imbalances. i came across lamictal when i went &quot;cold turkey&quot; off lexapro and almost commited suicide. that was the darkest moment of my life. now, i am happier and balanced. i never knew life could be this good. i also eat right, limit cocktails, exercise and get good rest to aid in my balanced lifestyle."
