"i was given lamictal for my bipolar disorder, and was on it for about 2 years. it gave me kidney problems, so i stopped taking it. however, now that i&#039;m no longer on it, i have gained the ability to completely turn off my emotions like a switch whenever i choose to. i can turn them back on with some difficulty. 



at first, i liked being able to turn them off, but now it&#039;s becoming a curse. i don&#039;t mean that it helped me control my emotions; i mean i literally can turn them all off like a switch. i no longer care about anything at all, not even if i live or die. when i do this, i feel soulless, but cannot care that i am. it is truly horrible and is slowly ruining my life. i advise anyone to not take lamictal. it isn&#039;t worth it."
