In reply to carbohydrate cravings from h*ll-pdoc appt soon, posted by elanor roosevelt on June 23, 2008, at 0:01:47
I've been taking Lamictal for four weeks. I have been having increased carbo cravings, but I'm not sure it's because of the drug. My wife thinks it is.
Also, I have had bulimia problems all my life, periodically. I went on a low carb diet and it disappeared completely. However, I have had periods when the problem disappears or is very mild without any obvious causative factor.
I went off the diet just before starting the Lamictal. So, it's a complex problem, trying to attribute the carbo cravings/bulimia to a specific source, such as starting Lamictal. Is it due to the drug, due to a natural cycle, due to the change in diet, or something else? I just don't know.
