"have been taking it for 2 years. stopped my seriously depressed moods 100%. my hyper moods as well, although did not have these as often. i was severely depressed and couldn&#039;t go to work, angry, and my mind was spinning all night.  this was going on for years.  i never realized it could have been a chemical imbalance until i &quot;flipped&quot; from giving up on life, to &quot;everything is great!  what was i thinking!&quot; then back to giving up again within 3 hours.  lamictal has made all of this stop.  it&#039;s wonderful to be &quot;normal&quot; again."
