Based on these mental pictures (and Big Pharma marketing), I chose the latter. A good call, I think. Here is an excerpt on Lamictal from my new favorite book to hide the cover of when reading in public, The Feeling Good Handbook:
Lamotrigine [Lamictal] causes many other side effects [in addition to a severe and life-threatening skin reaction and liver or multi-organ failure] such as headache and neck pain, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, loss of coordination, sleepiness, trouble sleeping, tremor, depression, anxiety, irritability, seizures, speech problems, memory difficulties, runny nose, rashes, itching, double vision, blurred vision, vaginal infections, and others.
To name a few.

i took cymbalta for probably three months. twice. andddd, i'm pretty sure the kidney problem i may currently have was caused by it.
also, i lost vision in my right eye before my whole right side of my body went numb. and this was AFTER i stopped taking it. and apparently, this is normal.
so, i advise to never take cymbalta, either.
eww, that sounds awful. so far my only side effects are tiredness and extreme retardation (see today's post).
Lamictal made me feel amazing (when taken with my Trileptal) however the side effects were horrible - I had a rash all over and could eat nothing after I took them unless I felt like puking it up - although I did lose weight...
