Hi, Hopeless_2010! Let me see if I've got this straight:
One caretaker wants you to assume (total?) responsibility for your husband's well-being through his sexual fulfillment; the other caretaker wants you to lose weight to improve your self-image to the point where shopping is less a part of your life. And they've prescribed Effexor and Lamictal:
- Effexor: “Expected side effects are increased appetite and weight gain.” [I'm sure not everyone experiences this.]
- Lamictal: “For women, taking oral contraceptives can decrease the level of Lamictal, so Lamictal doses may need to be adjusted when a woman starts oral contraceptives.” [Again, any individual's reaction may be unique.]
You can't make this stuff up. 
Edit: To clarify, my comments stem from a long-term complaint of my own, that different doctors/caretakers frequently don't communicate with one another regarding the same patient. This can lead to treatments at odds with desired outcomes.
