"on it for 6 years 200mg twice a day. this was a life-changing drug for me i also take ritalin which has been working for the last 2 years. the lamictal really makes me feel like i have a repaired foundation in my personality. the ritalin has added to my concentration and keeps me calm and even keeled.  i had tried many other medications from my psychiatrist that worked for a short time,   but nothing has been as long lasting as these 2 medications.  one of the best reasons i have for knowing that they are doing their job is.. most people who know me such as friends ,  family and fiance would like to give my doctor a great big kiss.."
