Hi everyone

My pdoc has at last decided to switch me over to Lamictal from Epilim (sodium valproate) after much persistance from myself that Epilim is causing me a lot of weight gain, and I am not feeling good about it!

He is starting me on 25mg a day and increasing over several weeks, in the meantime reducing the Epilim.

Is or has anyone taken Lamictal for BP2 and how did you get on with it? Have read about the rash thing and thats its good for bipolar depression but that's it really - oh and of course it doesnt cause weight gain!!

Thanks
