Lamotrigine
"I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in September of 2008 and started the horrific process of finding the right medication(s) for me. Geodon worked really well but when my limited prescription plan runs out, Geodon would cost me $500.00 a month. So I asked my doctor to switch me to drug that has a generic. I started on Lamictal on 12-28-08 and it took until a week ago (February 1, 2009) to get to 200 mg. I have to take it in the morning as it is stimulating for me. A light went on when I hit 200 mg and I feel great. I am starting the process of going off of Geodon now, so I hope I still feel great when I am of the Geodon entirely."
