hi,
i am currently up to 175mg of lamictal (moving up still) with zoloft, trazodone, and a little bit of klonopin. i found that in general zoloft (and before it, celexa) dampened my appetite, but it is worse than ever lately. i hadn't thought it could be the lamictal. i actually am starting to dread mealtimes, especially breakfast, b/c there is just nothing i want anymore! this is bad for me, b/c i am pretty thin and have lost weight and want to gain some back. it's proving quite impossible so far.
so perhaps lamictal can have this effect, as it often boosts ssri power? it also causes more glutamate to be released, i have read, and i have no idea if that can have any effects on appetite.
good luck, and let me know if you find any good ideas to fix this! =)
