Looking for experiences with Lamictal as a mood stabilizer

Hi y'all. I've been taking Prozac for my depression and my doctor just prescribed lamictal as a mood stabilizer to help me manage my mood swings while I learn coping skills. I was on abilify before and did not like it due to discomfort with side effects that lasted too long. I'm just wondering if Lamictal worked for y'all, and how long you've been taking it.

Had zero effect on me, got switched to lithium and that helped a lot

Abilify was scary for me. I take lamictal and at first I had some side effects but literally nothing like abilify. Lamictal is less extreme in my opinion. I was scared from abilify to try anything
