I've had the eating problem way before started Lamictal. I just started last Tuesday at 25mg. Remains to be seen if it will help or hurt as I think it's too early to tell. I believe it has a bit of a stimulant effect for me, however, so far. I see my PDoc today and we will discuss augmentation. My wean off of Luvox and try Effexor again. Sports doc also recommended Revia for the binge eating, but I'm very wary of that. (If you don't know, it's a drug commonly used for alcoholics but has shown promise for binge eaters. I tried it once, for one day, and felt so nauseaus and fatigued, I threw it out. These effects are supposed to pass after a few days. However, as an athlete who likes to train daily, I'd rather not go through that unless it seems like the only helpful option.)
