I gained weight on lamictal and couldn't lose it
despite vigorous exercise and eating less. It was
water weight gain. As soon as I went off the drug, the
weight came off quick. You definitely shouldn't
restart at that high of a dose--it's real important
with lamictal to start low and slow, or you get the rash.
I tried upping my dosage more than just the tiny bit you
are supposed to each week, and sure enough, I started getting
a skin reaction. I lowered it and went slow, and I didn't
have a problem.
I don't know why some people gain weight on lamictal and
others don't.
