I was given lamictal to "control my impulses" what does this mean? how do i need to feel to know that the med is working?

See a psychiatrist: Presumably your psychiatrist prescribed lamotrigine (Lamictal) for impulsivity (acting on whims without thinking of the long-term consequences). Impulsivity can be found in patients with bipolar disorder, drug abuse, ADHD, and personality disorders. See your psychiatrist to discuss whether your symptoms improve with Lamictal. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a695007.html
