It is not uncommon for woman with mood disorders who are on mood stabilizers and AD's to still experience some form of PMS. I take Lamictal and believe me it is alot worse without it. I have no acne and my dose is much higher than yours. Go to www.remedyfind.com for info and see how others rate this drug. You are not giving it a fair trial by considering to bail out so early.Polarbear
