True that, lamotrigine has been life changing as well, it took the edge off the depressive features. I initially dismissed lithium, but with long-term use, it has reduced episodes, agitation, with mild emotional blunting that I have learned to deal with. I've had to cycle off lamotrigine three times so far due to poopout, they call the protocol a washout, and it gets reintroduced at a starting dose until it is effective again, with a typical dose around 100 mg after washout.
