In reply to Lamictal success??, posted by mmcasey on May 7, 2003, at 13:33:39
I wish I could tell you that Lamictal cured all my ills. What I can tell you is that it has helped more than anything else, which isn't saying much. When I first started taking it, it was wonderful but the effect has faded. When I take it now in the morning I get an excellent boost but this fades in the afternoon and I still drop down into a deep pit.
I would recommend it- it I have no side effects to speak of and it definitely has helped. I combine it with Neurontin.
Hope this helps!
