Hi
It's hard to say if I lost weight on Lamictal. I know at first I stopped gaining weight. I did lose the weight, but a lot of it may have been the result of increased activity due to seizure control. I had been on Lamictal for about a year and still felt fat. Then A "friend" (yeah right) introduced me to methamphetamine. I lost half of my body weight and my mind in 5 months flat. When I stopped using I had gone down 12 dress sizes. I hadn't eaten in almost a month. I was dying. So, I'm back on lamictal. I have gained back a lot of weight. Then I got dx'd with thyroid cancer! My metabolism is shot. I was hypo and still am. So it's really hard to say what caused what. IMHO if you stay on the Lamictal and keep your current activity level or increase your activity level you will probably lose the weight-but not overnight. Not gaining weight is a good way to start losing weight.
