In reply to lamictil - wellbutrin - risperdol - prozac, posted by jennjenn on February 2, 2001, at 14:35:49
I've found that lamictal is the best mood stabilizer for me to use. My psychiatriast also says that lamictal is the best MS, but he doesn't use it much because of the rash. You won't get any effects from it until you're taking at least 100 mg twice a day...at least I didn't. They're going to have to raise it slowly to see if you get that rash though. Give it time, it works very well for people who don't respond to other MS's like me. It's also GREAT for the depression side of things.
