Had a pretty good weekend. Actually spent a full day with my father-in-law and had no significant political disagreements. I'm going to my psychiatrist tomorrow and am pretty sure I will be totally off of Depakote and on strictly Lamictal. I'm really looking forward to this and then going to watch my weight even closer. He claims Lamictal actually speeds up your metabolism and that you will lose weight even if you don't change our exercise or eating patterns. Although I certainly need to do that as well.
