"lamictal really worked great at stabilizing my moods and eliminating my manic episodes. i stopped blowing things out of proportion, being paranoid, and having rage attacks. i have been taking this with wellbutrin everyday. the side effects were brutal to begin with the first few months and i had to go backwards on my dose and increase it slowly. i am always lightheaded and dizzy. the first few months i would lose my balance and have to grab something to prevent falling on a daily basis. now i&#039;m used to it and can recognize when i need to stop and let my body adjust before i move, but stabilizing my moods has been a life saver."
