Hello, I've been struggling with weight gain for the past 2 months. This is same time frame as a lamotrigine increase from 150 to 200mg. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. I eat relatively healthy - I have actually double downed on my diet the past couple of weeks. I don't weigh myself but my clothes have definetly gotten tighter. Prior to my increase I was a side medium and now I am definetly a large and I think I'm growing into an x-large :(. This gain has been within a short amount of time and its definetly not muscle.

• I am wondering if anyone has experienced this type of weight gain through a lamotrigine increase.

• When I was at 150mg I was able to firm up or at least maintain weight but now I am at 200 I feel out of control.

Has anyone else experienced this?

• I should add that I did turn 40 this year. I heard that its harder to lose weight at this age.
