Lamotrigine works for most bipolar people for at least a few years. It's used as a first resort since it has typically no side effects. It quit working for me after four years of use, so I switched to lithium. I don't know much about how lamotrigine affects the mood of normal people, but I do know that if you give lithium to normal people it doesn't affect their psyche in any measurable way.

I've been using it for about ten years.
Fantastic!
So were you having manic episodes?
