Hi Lois. Are you taking lamictal by itself, or to augment an anti-depressant? I tried lamictal to augment Nardil--I think it was working, but I was one of a small percentage with a weight gain. I am now trying stimulents to augment the Nardil, but none have yet been helpful (I am waiting for adrafinil to come in the mail). If the adrafinil trial is not successful, or only partly successful, then I will try topamax, which has similar mechanisms as lamictal, but no weight gain, and different possible side effects. If you are getting good effects from lamictal, maybe you can still increase your dose (slowly though). Shellie
