Lamictal has been a life saver for me. I take only 50mg/day. The effect kicks in after 3 hours and lasts for about 6 hours. There is some irritablity associated with it, but the increase in energy and lack of depression compensates greatly. I wish I knew how it was working, because it's the only thing that has really helped long term.
Unfortunately, it is only effective if I take it once a day, but 6 hours of a glimpse of mental health is better than nothing!
