started 300mg, considering increase to 350mg

Been on it for several months, seems to be helping even out my moods, a few side effects, dizzy, etc, have now gone away.

THIS is what saved my daughter and brought her back! This in combination with lithium.

I guess it's working, so to speak, but it's a medication. Therefore I don't like it. I don't know about side effects because my life was flipped upside down shortly after the dose was increased to a therapeutic level and I've been having all sorts of fun issues so it's hard to say what's what =[

I think Lamictal works with minimal side effects. I feel like it does "stabilize" me to an extent, but can't help wondering if that's in my head. Either way, I love that the side effects aren't deal-breakers.

Fantastic medication! I had some vivid, disturbing dreams when I first started taking it, but they went away gradually.

It is working, but not enough. When there is extra stress in my life I still go hypomanic
