In reply to help! weight gain, posted by malthus on July 1, 2004, at 11:24:18

> I am currently on 225 mg. of Effexor, .5 mg of Klonopin twice a day, and my doctor has just started me on Lamictil 25 mg. every other day for a week, 25mg. a day the second week and 50 mg. a day the third week. I have gained almost 25 lbs. over the past year because she has tried me on so many different drugs. I think the biggest culprits were Xyprexa and Seroquel which I have stopped taking. Now I am finding it very difficult to lose weight even though I am eating very healthy foods and exercising three times a week. I feel so hopeless. I took Serzone for seven years and was consistently 130-135 lbs.(sometimes less). I'm 5 feet 5 1/2 inches and weigh about 157 now. She's putting me on the Lamictil for resistant treatment depression and Bipolar 2. Currently I am extremely depressed and the weight is making it so much worse. Does anyone have any advice or a similar experience? Help!!!!

Have you had your sugar levels checked lately? Zyprexa & Seroquel have neen known to cause hyperglycemia & Diabetes.
