"i started taking lamictal over a year ago to treat my bipolar ii and am currently taking a 200mg dose. it has completely changed my life. i no longer obsessively compulsively shop. i can focus clearly. i no longer have raging mood swings. it controls most of my manic episode symptoms but doesn&#039;t really help with depression or manic hyper sexuality otherwise it would be 10/10. i&#039;m working on the depression with latuda with a small amount of success. currently i do feel flat, calm and sullen but i can&#039;t say that is the lamictal, it could just be the depression. the pros out way the cons."
