Hi Emme,
I don't know your diagnosis, and what each of these meds is being prescribed for (i.e., which symptoms). But, if you want to contain your weight, you might seriously think of upping the Provigil. I lost 18 lbs. when I went on it 6 months ago, and I'm maintaining that. I don't think this is untypical. If you are sensitive to meds, that's ok, but at least 1/4 of a 100 mg tab would be interesting to try. You can always cut back. It has been a great drug for me in other ways, too, particularly for attentional problems, and for brightening my mood. I was always scared to try the Lamictal because I have very sensitive skin, and would probably experience the rash even at a low dose.
I hope this helps a little,
Wendy
