> I just started taking evening primrose oil. I wonder, Shellie, if that might help with the weight issues. I also take L-Carnitine which helped me lose weight before all of this. I will let you know how it goes.

> NancyNancy-I talked to my gyn this week and she thinks primrose oil will make things worse because it stimulates estrogen. I know there is a lot written on primrose oil and PMS, but now I'm not sure I should be taking the primrose oil for this. She said to definitely increase intake of vitamin E, but I already take a healthy dose of it. So I'm pretty confused. Will set up a prolactin test for the end of this week or next. Did you get yours yet? Also, how long did it take for the lamictal to help and at what dose? Shellie
