> hi im new to this. just wanted to say im on lamictal 100mg. not quite doing the job so my doctor added a new drug saphris to it. this has made a big improvement but im gaining weight from both drugs. Lamictal also gives me migraines something awful.
Welcome.:-) <smile>
100mg is a bit low for Lamictal. Most people settle in at 200mg. I'm afraid I don't have a remedy for the headaches. If your headaches are true migraines, perhaps you could add a moderate amount of Topamax, which would minimize the migraines and help control body weight at the same time.
Are you bipolar?
