Lamictal Causes Weight Gain!!

My mom told me she told her doctor about my blog and it's emphasis on mental illness. So, just for him...

LAMICTAL CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN! Tell your associates! I don't care what the drug companies say. Listen to your patients! I maintained one weight for over a year, and then in the months I was on Lamictal, I gained 15 pounds. That was the only change in my life. Of course, until the weight started adding up - then my lifestyle greatly improved. And my weight gain continued steadily.

Thank you.

Yes it does... unfortunately, lithium does for me as well. That brief period between the two I started to lose weight... oh well, I guess there's always "the exercise program".
