Thank you all for doing this AMA. I appreciate the professional work and contributions that all of you do to make this disorder more bearable and better understood for those inflicted and for their loved ones.

I would love to hear some insight from your experiences with how lamictal / lamortigine impacts patients, specifically pertaining to physical side effects.

Is there any strong evidence for the onset of tinnitus or visual complications from taking lamortegine as a regular medication? I've read about melanin-binding propetries of this medication, has this been observed to be a significant occurrence for patients over time?

Do any of you have any interesting observations on how lamortegine affects sleep (during euthymia or not)? As in, do patients have significant changes in sleep study results or self-reports before and after having taken lamictal for a therapeutic time period? If so, and if applicable, what do these data signify and how can this be reapplied to better understand ones psychiatric scenario?

Thank you very much.
