"i love what lamictal has done for me. it&#039;s a mood stabilizer that should be prescribed secondarily alongside with another medicine for bi-polar disorder. mine is the anti-psychotic geodon, which i slowly came off of over 6 months wanting to get pregnant, but unfortunately, i ended up in the hospital in a severe manic episode with following depression as usual even though i stayed on the lamictal. i have taken lamictal for 7 yrs and its wonderful to not have depressive episodes and mood swings. i take an awesome combination with the geodon and i highly recommend it to bi-polar 1 sufferers."
