> oh that's fantastic. (intense sarcasm)...i was really looking forward to this lamictal finally solving my BPII depression which carried bad social anxiety with it....had high hopes. Wasn't aware of the apetite-increase potential. How common is this with Lamictal? I have a problem as it is keeping my weight in check, as I am on Adderall throughout the day, workout twice a day, and am 6'6", so I don't eat enough throughout the day, and when the adderall begins to finally wear off by bedtime, and all my workout routines add up, i cant stop myself from raiding the kitchen bigtime. It's like I have to keep working out hardcore just to keep my weight steady, cuz of all the junk i eat before bed! ahhhh
>>> I am exactly the same way! I take 100 mg. of Lamictal twice a day. I am very motivated to work out because of the innumerable benefits, but I have the same evening cravings. I figure since I worked out, I can eat whatever I want.
And I usually eat a lot of carbs. I do tend to think of it as a psychological issue rather than a medication one.
