Lamictal

[hazyworld]

Does anyone know if this medication will cause weight gain,as so many of the meds do..I will be taking my 4th pill of 25 mg tonight.......................any info at all on this med would be helpful............also im on klonopin and 1/2 of a 25  mg seroquel(as needed for sleep) I dont think i like how the seroquel makes me feel.............the dr said lamictal should help my depression...........i was on abilify and i feel i gained weight on it plus develepoed awful dizziness had to stop it after 3 months.

I actually dropped weight on Lamictal.  I have trouble sleeping on it, and I do feel dizzy every time they up my dose but it passes after a few days.

With Lamictal it kind of depends on the person. Some report no weight gain on Lamictal and others report a little. Im my case I do not gain weight on lamictal.

Perhaps you will not either. You have a ways to go before you reach an effective dosage so give it time.
