This is just my opinion but its based on my experience and doctors info. Lamictal without an AD is not necessarily so great. Its not strong enough as an AD. Better as a mood stabilizer, AD booster with a little AD properties. The weight gain could also be from the depression coming back. That always happens to me. It seems like a number of people who have started gaining weight with Lamictal have also stopped their AD's.
If you are BPII weight gain can definetly be a symptom of depression. I've noticed that taking a smaller dose of Lamictal with a very small dose of Prozac has helped better than the Prozac alone.
