Well valproate for me was like wrapping my entire brain in a blanket. Lamictal didn't feel like it was really calming my brain in the same way. For instance, it did nothing to reduce migraine or hypersensitivity to light. My 'episodes' are often accompanied by hypersensitivity to stimuli. Lamictal (I think) is mostly a sodium channel blocker. Valproates effects on ion channels, and gaba are much more widespread.
