Hi,

I read on Jim Phelps site that if an ordinary person (without Bipolar) took Tegretol all it would do for them is to make them sleepy.

Anyone have any idea what Lamictal would do to an ordinary person if they took it?

Any suggestions would be welcome,

Happy St. Valentins Day Smile

Jenny, good question. Thanks for the info, Neon.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
