I took it as a small child for seizures and man the stuff was horrible. I stopped taking it without telling my parents and learned how not to have a seizure, that may sound ridiculous but it's true. I had a simular reaction to depakote this year, I really feel if I had continued it would have killed me. The 200 mg lamictal I take now is transparent, I don't even notice it. Go figure...
