Hi Roo.

I went through the exact same thing as you describe when I took the lamictal the first time. I was working out and couldn't lose weight like I always have when I get serious about exercise. I was pretty sure it was the lamictal; then when I went off of it, I dropped 15 lbs in one week. That's when I knew it was fluid retention. (Also my breasts hurt and my stomach was bloated.) You might want to add a diuretic, although when I added one after I had already gained the weight it didn't do much. It may have been that I expected the dieretic to work right away and when it didn't I gave up. In retrospect, I should have given it longer, taken it for a week or so everyday to see if I dropped some of the weight before going off again. I found that when I went off, then on the lamictal again, I had to double my dose, so if it's working for you, it's probably something you don't want to mess around with.
