"i&#039;ve gone from 25, 50,75,100 and been on 200mg a day for 4 weeks now. i&#039;ve been on lithium, seroquel, seroquel xr and could not handle the side effects of all. lamictal has been magic. i can feel the change completely, i just feel like everything is a little &#039;slower&#039; and that i&#039;m not racing all the time. bipolar 2. best medication i have been on by far and can honestly say that this is one i plan to stick to. the side effects were small but there, dizziness when standing, headache and a little nausea for the first 6 weeks on and off but nothing compared to the emotions of bipolar."
