Hi All,
This is my 1st time posting. My PCP put me on lamotrigine less than 3 months ago. In that time I've gained 35lbs, my diet and exercise routine has not changed at all. The only thing she's told me, when I bring it up at our twice a month visits, is maybe my body is starving itself and I need to start exercising more but that the meds wouldn't cause it. I'm lost, the meds aren't working and she refuses to put me back on the ones that controlled my anxiety, ability to sleep, controlled my ADHD and didn't cause this unbearable weight gain. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow and I'm hoping he'll be able to address and adjust my meds but I'm afraid, what if he doesn't? #weightgain #excessiveweightgain #Lamotrigine
