Hi there, Lamictol does not cause weight gain as much as the others. However, I have come out in spots (not many) and have decided to stop until I see a doctor. A life threatening rash is one of the side effects. This does not occur a lot, but most doctors look out for it. Write to me ... From Sanz (Washington State)
Congrats
I hope you are finding some relief. My new meds are still not working. I have a Pdoc appt coming up so hopefully we can adjust. I also have an ECT appt to discuss the treatments. I am really hoping they will go ahead and do this. I am so tired of feeling so depressed and completely hopeless! Hugs
