I am 18 and I started lamotragine a few months ago for anxiety/depression/mood and it has been great for me.  I haven't had any side effects.  My doctor warned me about a severe face rash that can develop because of it but it is quite uncommon.  They start you off at low doses and slowly increase to prevent the rash.  Although medicine is never the same for different people, my experience has been good.  Hope this helps.
