Thanks, TLight. Yes, my med nurse said it was often prescribed for people with bipolar disorder. He said I'm not bipolar, but that I do have mood swings (and, I guess, yeah, who doesn't when suddenly triggered? :)). He said it has been recommended as well for depression, mood stabilization, and irritability. He said I probably won't feel much of the effect until week 3. I've just ended week 1, but maybe I'm feeling it a bit already; I'm very sensitive to meds. The things to watch out for, though, with Lamictal are rashes and hives. Even minor ones should be checked with the doctor asap because they could turn serious. I haven't noticed any yet, and, of course, not everyone gets them.
