Smith- I think that people for whom a medication doesn't work tend to write more posts than people who are successful with the same drug.
I have definitely heard more good things about Lamictal than bad. If you are on the maintainence dose (200 mg or possibly higher) and it is controlling your mania, anxiety, impulsiveness, or concentration, I would stay on it and add an antidepressant such as Lexapro, or a drug like Seroquel which has antidepressant effects.
