I don't know how it works, and I'd bet that like with most other psychotropic drugs, the "experts" don't know either - they just have guesses.
Lamictal didn't help me in any way but did give a side-effect that was rather strange and pretty scary - I lost my sense of taste. It took weeks after discontinuation for things to return to normal. That was my final foray into meds - I figure if a pill can cause me to lose my sense of taste, what the heck else is it doing to me. And when I reported the problem to the prescribing doc, he wasn't concerned and recommended I continue taking Lamictal. Needless to say, I stopped the Lamictal and the doc.
