bipolar disorde
"I'm a 33 year old female.  I have been taking Lamictal for 5 years.  I don't know what I would do without this medication.  It allows me to lead a normal life.  I have been bipolar my entire life although was diagnosed with just depression until I was hospitalized with my first manic episode at the age of 22. I take 200mg Lamictal ODT (orally dissolving tablet) morning and night.  Lamictal ODT is expensive and tastes awful but the ODT works better than the regular pill form of Lamictal for me. I have no side effects I know of. I also do cognitive behavioral "talk therapy", practice Tai Chi, and do my best to get regular sleep."
