My question to all of you is, what is the cause of this extreme weight gain. I've gained 40lbs. What the heck. Lamictal is suppose to be weight neutral, Geodon kept me on the same weight before schizophrenia. Is it the Effexor or Lamictal?

Anybody have a clue?
meds affect everyone differently, also some med interactions can cause it i think. i would ask your pdoc
