Glaxo Welcome--the manufacturer of lamictal provides data that reports that 25% of people over 12 who take lamictal have a greater or equal to 5% weight gain and 19% have a 10% or more weight gain.
(www.glaxowellcome.ch/gw/fr/neuro/lamictal/monograph/monograph009.html).I gained 9 lbs on lamictal and lost it within days after I discontinued that medication.
If I would you, I would check my facts, before offering my "beliefs".
