I thought lamotrigine wasn't supposed to make me gain weight.......well, I've been on it for a month and have already put back on almost 10 lbs. of the 30+ I lost when I was going through my mixed episode. I'm already over 300, so I can't afford to regain.......on the other hand, I'm tolerating the med really well and it's working. Guess I'd rather be fat than crazy!

Just wondering if anyone else has gained or is gaining weight on Lamictal. I don't plan to change meds just because I've put a few lbs. back on, but I wonder if it really is the drug, or if it's more because I've gotten my normal appetite back and am once again actually enjoying food.
