I have taken Lamictal over a yr now and find it the best for mood stablizer along with Wellbutrin for AD. When was taking 10 mg am and 200 nights was feeling zombie like. Now take 25 am and 100 pm. (I got lost driving home on higher dose) I seem to tolerate it well. None of the meds areperfect, just like any other condition. On my "poison" list is Effexor and Tegretol
