I have depression, and Lamictal helped me quite a bit in the beginning to stop those wild moments of despair, and suicidal images just like you mention. At first it also helped anxiety, though after a while this nice effect began to wear off, but many others find it good long-term. It did exactly as expected--"stabilized" my mood.
I don't think I have any side effects at all, though you just saw me post asking whether others have noticed cognitive difficulties on Lamictal. But in truth it is more likely to be one of the other meds I am on, as I have been on Lamictal several months with no problem. But I can say for sure that I did not have nasty side effects at all those first months.There are other options, but I have no personal experience.
