Lamotrigine: Valuable medication to treat epilepsy, especially complex partial seizures, and first choice for epileptologists. Has few side effects, but has risk of early rash which could be life-threatening (stevens-johnson synd). Has proven of some value in psychiatry (bipolar, etc). Often used adjunctively, but can be mono-therapy.
