I have just started on Lamictal today. There is less anger I can tell that and less mania and depression. I am on 25 mg every other day for two weeks then everyday for two weeks then it is back to see the psychiatrist in 4 weeks. I also on Geodon for paranoid schizophenia. The side effects from post pyschotic depression were hard to take as they slowly increased my Geodon. He said I may not start feeling better but be patience.
