The PDoc took me off the Depakote and Zyprexa because of the excessive weight gain and put me on Lamictal (been on b4) and Tegretol.

I am really looking forward to trying these together!

I am a big fan of lamictal...works well for me. Good luck and I hope the weight starts to come off. I don't envy the long wait you have to get the lamictal to a therapeutic dose...seems like it takes forever.

I take 350 mg Lamictal daily. Have for about 8 years. Seems to work very well in conjunction with other things. Had weight gain on Abilify so gone from 20-25 mg of that to 5 mg & added Topamax--Suzy
