cherie Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I was wondering about you guys and gals. As Lamictal (monotherapy) my weight has kinda fluctuated, but I lost at 100 mg now I'm kinda gaining it back at 150 mg. It seems my appetite is in full force. Almost like I am very tired and run down (side effetcs) and I eat sugar to get me up. Didn't have this deal before.. was wondering about you Lamictal babies too...

tallulah Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 ive never had a problem as far as weight gain with lamictal and i take 250mg. also, its a very activating drug for me. if youre finding that it makes you lethargic, why not take it closer to bedtime? when im hungry, i eat. when im not, i dont. but as we all know...different strokes for different folks.

tallulah Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 doubt that. some people gain, some people dont...it just happens. like you said, youve been eating sugars due to feeling lethargic...so maybe changing med times will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antistrophe Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Sorry to jump in here but I've just registered and maybe my input would be helpful. I'm currently on 150mg Lamictal, and have found it remarkably weight-neutral. I also have tremendous sugar cravings and am often lethargic, but these problems have not manifested physically as weight gain. I take it in the evenings as well, because it definately makes me drowsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I've taken it for about a year now and I can't see any weight changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
