Lamictal could be a great choice for you. It's side effects are very friendly. It has a dangerous rash sometimes, but is almost always a result of increasing dose too quickly. A general rule of thumb with Lamictal is to up the dose 25mg a week. It makes a good mood stabilizer and has antidepressant qualities as well.
To find out more, go to Depression Central. There is a whole page written by Dr Ivan Goldberg on Lamictal. Also, at the top of the main page here click on Tips. Then do a search on Lamictal, mood stabilizers, new generation mood stabilizers, anticonvulsants, new generation anticonvulsants, etc. I think the most concise information is at Depression Central.
