I'm in the midst of finding a better Psychiatrist, so the last 2 months regular Dr. has been perscribing the meds as noted. Once I go back to a psychiatrist I will have him replace the Lamictal

Advice & Tips
My favourite meds actually. Never felt so good mentally, so thats why we tryied to put me on it twice. But both times I got some serious rash and the doctors assumed it was Stevens–Johnson syndrome. Still have nasty scars left from that shit. Oh well. I survived at least.
