Since my relapse into severe depression, the best combination for me has been nardil and lamictal. But as I was increasing the lamictal, my weight was going up. Also I had a lot of discomfort in my breasts. I did not experience an increase in appetite, so my eating didn't increase, and I was doing the treadmill.
I tried dieretics but it didn't seem to help. Yet within less than two weeks after stopping the lamictal I lost 9 pounds (not dieting or exercising).
My question is can you lose nine pounds in such a short time without it being water retention? The dieretic I took always works for me premenstrually, so I know it has been effective.
The reason I am asking this question, is that I am so tired of being depressed and wouldn't hesitate to go back on the lamictal if I didn't gain weight. But I was scared that I would get to be a huge person and I have enough problems with self-image not to deal with that.
Any ideas about the mechanisms of weight gain and such a fast loss? Shellie
