> Hiya Beth,
> I didn't notice so much the blahs when I was on Depakote (with Lam). It added a synergistic effect. Why are you gaining weight? Which meds are you on?
> katiaHey Katia,
I think the weight gain is from the Lamictal. It is minor but noticeable. I don't think my other meds are causing this, I have been on them for years. Of course, it could be because I have added the Lam to the mix.
I currently take Neurontin, Tegretol, Zoloft, and Lamictal. I believe these meds have kept me at a heavier weight than I would be normally, but nothing intolerable.
Why did you quit the dep, was it because of hair loss and weight gain? Otherwise, it sounded like it worked well for you.
Just increased the Lam 25mg, once again much better. We'll see how long this one lasts!
Ciao,
Beth
