Mitch.
I'd go for the lamictal. I took it; you have to start slowly because of possible serious rash, but literally had no side effects. I did gain weight (which I lost immediately after going off it), but that is not a common side effect for lamictal. In my case it was probably fluid retention which I had on neurotin also. I think it's really easy to tolerate and it's becoming very popular as a mood stabilizer.
