It is more of a social thing for me and that is something that I kind of miss out on. Also there is a stigma on being anorexic because I dont want to eat. To make a long sotry short, food is my comfort and the meds take it away.

I still have issues with loosing weight. Its like the drugs make me not eat but gain weight. I hate them. I wish there was some sort of a diet pill to help me out with this because clearly working out two times a day is not worth it.
When I first started Lamictal, it had that effect on me. I lost about ten pounds, but that was short lived. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this type of side effect with your meds. Gotta love having to choose between the good and the bad.
