"i have bipolar ii and lamotrigine saved my life. i have taken 200mg for approximately 5 years. in combination with therapy my mood swings have diminished by &gt;95%. my quality of life has skyrocketed. my life truly is broken into 2 segments - before lamotrigine and after lamotrigine.

my memory is certainly a bit worse, but i notice no other side effects. the memory impairment is not substantial enough to warrant stopping the medication."
