I still do weigh less though than I've been in a long time, and I was never near overweight to begin with....so I was concerned at first, but I'm still in the healthy range. Plus, I think previous meds were making me overeat before the Lamictal, hence, the weight change. How long have you been on Lamictal? You might notice better tolerance with time, if you haven't been on it long.

Uhh... I don't remember how long I've been on Lamictal. I think since January or February?
My weight tends to fluctuate, but I'm underweight, partially because of the lack of appetite and partially because of my IBS-D. With IBS-D, things tend to go right through me and then I don't feel like eating. (Seriously, I think it's weird to eat food right after you took a s***.) So yes, I would like to have an increase in appetite.
