"i was on lamictal in the past and it was wonderful, it really helped me control my mood and anger issues but of course like any bipolar person i stop taking medicines. i was but on other meds that affected me the wrong way. i am now back on them and can&#039;t wait till i am at my right dosage. you have to give it time and slowly get to the right dosage. it can and will help. in past i was on it for 2 years."
