> I have a lot of dsyphoric type stuff. I was having a really hard time in 2006. Alcoholism, suicide attempts, inpatient hospitalizations. Lamictal gets a bad rap around her sometimes but in my case it gave me my life back. I stabilized quickly got sober and haven't had any cutting issues or anything since.

When I first started Lamictal, I noticed that I had word-finding problems and ataxia at lower dosages (100 - 200 mg). These things bother me only at higher dosages now. I am currently taking 200 mg. This dosage works as well for me as 300 mg did, but without the cognitive side effects. My condition lies along the bipolar spectrum.
