I went and saw a psychiatrist a couple days ago and it was kinda a bad experience, I’ve already made others posts about it so I won’t get into specifics here but basically I didn’t really agree with his diagnosis. 

He told me he think I have Bipolar and that I should start taking lamotrigine. I just wanted to see what other people’s experiences with it are because I’m hesitant to take any advice from him at face value considering I don’t think he really listened to me at all. I’m obviously worried about some side effects I’ve heard about, like apparently it can cause organ failure or an internal rash that kills you before you can even tell it’s there, and some less severe ones like weight gain and stuff too.

So has anyone tried it? Does it actually do anything?
