[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 18256, member: 2423"] I have two kids on Lamictal. It helped with their irritability, which was tied to depression. Because you must start low and go slow (to avoid the serious rash side effect that is associated with Lamictal), it can take a while to see any benefit from the medication. In our case, it has been well worth the time it took to reach therapeutic levels. Topamax is not considered a first-line mood stabilizer, but there are some on this board who have had luck with it. It can cause cognitive dulling (hence its nickname Dopamax). [/QUOTE]
