Lamictal

Is anyone here taking Lamictal xr. I am wonering how is makes most people feel and how good it works for you and if you are taking other meds with it. Does it take a long time to notice change.

I've taken it for about 18 months.  Yes, it helps greatly.  Unfortunately, it also causes you to want to eat more!

I think mine is just regular lamictal, but i have taken it for several years ans it works well for me.  I do take other meds for bipolar, though.  i am told that my meds do cause people to gain weight.  I can only count that as part of the reason I regained after several years of success with my original RNY.  But, I am working on it!

It needs to build up like a lot of drugs...  the rest is person by person I guess.
