Hi there! It is very hard to answer your question if you didn’t give more details. It is dangerous to take methadone (abuse) if you are healthy and don’t suffer from any physical and menthal disorders. It is also addictive.
Lamictal is not addictive but also treats mental impairment like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and epilepsy as well.

Where did you learn about these drugs?

lhello!
I have used Lamictal for 3months for Bipolar II - my dosage now is 300mg per day. I am also taking 85mg of methadone. I got Lamictal with the psychiatrist at the addiction clinic where I get methadone. So trust me - there is no interaction.

Lamictal has done wonders for me - used to smoke hash all day long - even had this BudBomb-pipe hanging aroung my neck on the key-chain. Now I only smoke a small amount in the evening, and little bit more in the weekends. But yesterday, a Saturday, I actually did not smoke until 9pm in the evening! That's a record in many years! I am really completely a new person! Actually my need to be intoxicated all the time is gone, and if the desire comes, I don't give in easily like before. I uI was also a sugar and candy addict - gone over night!! No need for all this sugar anymore. Usually, like most addicts, I was not good at keeping my apartment clean and tidy all the time - but now it is so clean and tidy! My mild depression has vanished - feeling happy all the time. Also used to be a bit sluggish, tired, etc before - now I am full of energy, confident and my mind is clearer. My therapist was shocked, and said "I just have to ask-have you taken speed today? You seem so confident and full of energy, even your body posture has changed for the better." Wink
I am now tapering down on methadone, and will do ibogaine afterwards, followed by full-time therapy for 6-12 months. Now I can feel deep into my bones that the chapter of addiction in my life is about to end for good.

So try Lamictal if you have addiction problems!
