Just an FYI really. Due to changing jobs I had to change insurance and doctors and just had an appt with the new guy this morning. He's decided to switch me to Lamictal due to the various things I told him during my eval, which is fine as long as it doesn't put on 20lbs or something. He gave me the lowdown on potential side-effects but I was wondering what, if anything, you guys might have run into other than headaches, rashes, forgetfulness?
Apathy getting to be a real problem lately! I've never been particularly driven or ambitious but I feel like I'm phoning it in at work and that's not good as this is a new position and I don't want anyone feeling I'm not cutting it. Maybe I'm just getting older and less enthused? Or more cynical and therefore less likely to give my all? Who knows?

Chilali,
I'm on Lamictal right now. Its supposed to be "weight neutral" and it has been for me. I'm not sure its working as well as Depakote did but no rahes or headaches. I am terribly forgetful but I think that's due more to my head injury than anything. What were you on before?
