I found Lamictal the most tolerable out of the 3 and it worked specifically on rapid cycling
and mixed states
and could not tolerate Tegretol,
Trileptal and Depakoate because of personality changes (but that's a potential side effect of all anti-convulsants used as mood stabilizers including the one I take now) but each person responds differently to each medication although generally, side effect profile aside as it is the only medication approved as a mood stabilizer before any other usa
