>Hi John,
No, I do not know much about Lamictal - I should
look at the monograph for it; I think that
it sounds superiour if it is not toxic and if
it has not effects as you say, perceptible anyway.
I suppose then that it an advance over lithium
as it is newer? Would you say - again I should
look at some monographs.I think that the toxicity and the testing, and
the thyroid gaging are a pain in the *ss regarding
lithium, but since it works so well and feels
so "transparent" it seems worth it.But had I been given a choice with this drug if
it as you describe and worked on me, i think i
would have preferred it.Thanks
