"i started taking lamictal after going to a php program. this medication worked really well for me but i was only on it for 2 months because i developed a rash and acne. it made my obsessive and thoughts occur less. i was able to handle situations with more logic and less emotional outbursts. i mean it truly was a great medication. however, my skin has always been clear but it was making me breakout more than i ever have in my life. i also felt like my hair was growing out thinner. if my emotions were totally out of control and life threatening than yes, i would have stayed on it despit the skin and hair problems. however for me it wasn&#039;t worth it. i would recommend at least trying it out."
