Does anyone gain weight on Lamictal? I seem to have gained some pounds, though I cant say I have the healthiest calorie-conscious diet currently...
I otherwise have liked it. Up to 75 mg. I feel much calmer, a lot of help with anxiety and mood. Just feel dizzy, and I don't know if this is from residual SSRI withdrawal (it does feel like the typical brain zaps) or if it is from the Lamictal. I have both depression and bipolar in my family (both sides!) as well as ADHD, anxiety, alcoholism. Maybe my diagnosis under it all is actually bipolar II and ADD, rather than major depression and GAD--my brain seems to give a sigh of relief on this mood stabilizer!.
And I still have complete braing fog and feelings of unreality. I hope to try a stimulant for that.
