ty so much for your response. It is greatly appreciated. I am always worried about the subject of weight gain. I am not at a healthy weight to begin with. She did have me on Zyprexa before she prescribed me the Lamictal. I gained 29 lbs on the Zyprexa!
This time I voiced my concern to her but her answer back was not to worry about the weight gain and instead lets focus on getting my mood stabalized.
