I'm currently on Lamictal and absolutely no side effects whatsoever and this is the only drug that I can honestly say that about. You do have to start at a small dosage and increase very slowly too to avoid getting the rash that is asssociated with it. It's hard for me to say how it has changed my life because I'm on a number of other meds as well, so who knows what has done what.

Good luck!!!

I've noticed a change in my sex drive since going on Lamictal. The paxil was numbing in that area...and now since adding the lam. I feel more like more normal self. Much more sensation and sexual pleasure. I think it's really helping eliminate some of Paxil's bad effects.
