So far so good with just the Lamictal. Last night my wife told me she thought I was losing weight, I said no way so we got out the scale and I had lost 18 pounds in three weeks. That tells you how fat I really am, thank you Depakote LOL. My daughter's eighth birthday tomorrow so I will be waist deep in seven and eight-year-old girls for 24 hours solid. Part of me dreads it but I really wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
