I'm not sure if Lamictal has been on the market for 5 years... I was taking 150/day for about two years when I was abusing cocaine and now I'm on 300/day in part to control the mania induced by other prescriptions I'm taking for ADD. I feel more stable than I ever have, but be careful with your dosing schedule - Don't miss a single dose! I missed one by 4 hours a couple months ago and went into manic insanity -- thinking *I* was the second coming of Christ among other things.
I have had no side effects from the Lamictal aside from constapation - which I think was really activating a side effect from my other medications.
