Thanks for your input everyone. I started taking the 400 mg of Lamictal eight days ago, but I became extremely nauseous. I was actually throwing-up and losing weight-which is bad, because of my history of Anorexia. Anyway, I called my pdoc and asked him what I should do. He sent me an email telling me to take 200mg tonight, and 300mg tomorrow. I am so scared that he is going to try to put me on Lithium. He suggested it last week. That drug scares me because of weight gain. I cannot handle weight gain-my eating disordered mind would go crazy. I tried Depakote (even though I know it makes people gain weight), but it gave me a scary rash. I am so frustrated. Does anyone take another mood stabilizer that doesn't cause weight gain? Thanks.
