Roly Poly Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I just started lamictal yesterday at 50mg ER. I was hoping for appetite suppression which I have heard about on lamictal. But this morning I have a huge appetite. I just took another pill and appetite seems to have calmed down a bit though. Is there a dosage at which anyone has found when the appetite suppression kicked in? I have gained weight from Risperdal and having hard time losing weight.

mikl_pls Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Lamictal isn't well known for appetite suppression. That being said, however, I did experience a little bit of appetite suppression when I got to around 200 mg... That's not to say that you will experience it though...

Roly Poly Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 I haven't been thinking much about food today so I don't know if it's the lamictal actually suppressing the appetite or if I'm just not as obsessed with thinking about food since I'm happier and less anxious. I've also started klonopin which could be a big factor. I only felt like suddenly eating after something annoying and stressful happened, then I became very hungry all a sudden. So I wonder if the lamictal and klonopin are helping me not eat as much because I feel happier and less anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notloki Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I did not find Lamictal did anything to my appetite at a range of doses for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
