The weight gain thing is interesting. The info says an average of 3 pound weight gain - some people gain more, but it's balanced by other people losing. When tracked over a longer period, it's been found that the weight was gained in the first couple of months and then reversed itself. That's been the case with me. I gained 10 pounds in the first two months due to an increase in appetite, but in the last two months I've lost fifteen, and my appetite is if anything decreased. So all in all, I'm happy.
Good luck with lamictal, if you decide it's for you.
