What do docs here think of lamotrigine for bi-polar/borderline personality disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good/nothing. : For bipolar disorder, it is very good especially for bipolar depression, anger and irritability. For borderline personality disorder (which is a completely separate diagnosis), it does not do anything.
