lamictal is amazing! definitely worth trying. i take it for bipolar disorder but it also helped a bit with my ocd as well so it's been quite helpful

I've been on lamotrigine for going on 3 years now... They originally added it on to my clonidine and duloxetine to help with sleep since it's a blood pressure med and I was having really bad graphic nightmares and insomnia. I can't say by itself, but it definitely helped me with sleep once I started on it.

I take Lamotrigine and it has little to no side effects for me besides dizziness & disorientation if you don't take it before bedtime. I have BPD and it fends off larger episodes but it won't be a magic fix for everyday struggles (again, just my experience)
