I started Lamictal maybe two or three mos ago, went very slowly and got up to 400 mgs. There was an app suppressant effect at first.
It seemed to wear off, and then it seemed like lately (past few weeks) I was just RAVENOUS. Dreamed about food, etc.
This week my doc added topamax, starting at 25mg. My appetite is the same, but I'm bloating up.
I'm really worried about this! ADs already made me gain 60 lbs. The doc chose these meds hoping they might at least be weight neutral.
Has anyone had a similar experience, or know what might be happining? Is it temporary? Should I switch? I take Celexa only during PMS and then go off to avoid tipping into hypomania. Doc says weight gain should not happen from that.
Those are the only meds I take. Please help if you can!!!
Thank you!
