I stopped taking it

i have had no side effects from lamictal but i've only been on it 3 months. i actually did not believe i was depressed until i started taking the meds . i swear it was almost like waking up from a coma .until i felt better ,i never realized how much (of what i loved) that i'd given up .i plan on continuing my meds

It was a dream come true when I began taking it, But I had to quit takin it because of complications
