Lamictal loss of appetite

Common Questions and Answers about Lamictal loss of appetite

lamictal

m having anxiety, tons of auras l, and loss of appetite. They took my levels today and we will see what comes of that soon. Does this ever subside? Will it get better? I'm so miserable right now.

Now, on Lamictal (still on Olanzapine as well as a buffer while I break into Lamictal), I have found that my appetite has decreased significantly. I was able to lose some weight, and hopefully will lose some more over the next few months with a healthy diet and the right exercise. I don't think its anything abnormal, but if you are concerned, please talk to your doctor about it.

Also Geodon and Lamictal is very different from just a higher dose of Lamictal in terms of therapeutic effects - do you need to have a replacement for Geodon? Third I would look at the time course of your symptoms, when did you start feeling which symptoms? You have had two changes in medications - what were the effects of those changes.

This summer I decided that I could no longer handle the side effects from Seroquel and so I went off of it. I have been on Lamictal for over 3 years (alone for about 2 months now) and things have been going pretty well. Lots of people do really well on Lamictal. Good luck!

s appointment I will be asking (for the second time) for topomax instead of the lithium and lamictal...or at least instead of the lithium....lamictal I am not sure about the weight with that. I only lose my appetite if I am upset (which has always been my habit) but with these pills I have increased appetite. Risperdal was the worse for me....

In all bipolar controlled trials combined, adverse reactions of mania (including hypomania and mixed mood episodes) were reported in 5% of patients treated with LAMICTAL (n = 956), 3% of patients treated with lithium (n = 280), and 4% of patients treated with placebo (n = 803)." This is a cut and paste from the Lamictal website. I do know I did well on Lamictal for many years and I was at about 325 mg.

I was wondering if any of you could comment on any hair loss currently? I took topomax and had a lot of hair loss. I just started lamictal and am very fearful of the same result. Can any of you who have been taking it for quite some time comment? Thanks!

I am currently on Tegretol, Lamictal, Cyprelex and Abilify. I am thinking of asking my doctor to add on Topomax. I have read that it helps with weight loss and I am having a really hard time with my weight due to all of the other meds. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?? Thank you in advance.

Anxiety can cause a loss of appetite, but when you actually begin to lose weight and must force yourself to eat, it's time to see your doctor. Which you will be doing tomorrow and can discuss all your concerns with him at that time. You didn't mention if you were on any medication for your anxiety, but some of the benzos and AD's out there do cause loss of appetite and weight. If you ARE on meds, a simple change may be all that is required to fix this.

Hi,i m 6 wks pregnant.i m observing all normal symtoms of first trimister except loss of appetite.i have heard that during this period women feel crazy about eating.but in my case it seems opposite effect.i have no intrest in taking meals.wud anyone help???

Lack of appetite is normal. I had on and off with both of my pregnancies. Just eat small snacks throughout the day. Also if your Dr is not concerned about how big you are you likely don't have a problem. I didn't show till about 25 weeks and I only looked about 7 months pregnant when I was 9 and my MIL swore my son wouldn't even be 7 pounds but he was a full 8 Pounds 6 Ounces. A large part of it is how tall you are how you are built and how the baby is sitting.

m in the 12th week of my pregnancy and it is only in the last two weeks that I have started eating properly. I experienced severe loss of appetite initially due to fatigue and morning sickness! Everyone around is asking me to ensure that I eat my full! Hope.the initial loss of appetite would not have affected the growth of the baby!

My name is Crystal. I'm in my 3rd pregnancy and i have loss of appetite. I don't feel hungry at all, and i have to force myself to eat. And when i do eat, i only eat like 3 spoons full of whatever I'm eating. Does that seem normal? Had anybody else had this problem?
