Hello everyone! back in 2017 one of the nearly 20 meds i ended up trying that year was lamictal! i don't remember too much of it though as the entire time i took it, i was also taking abilify &amp; zoloft with it. November 2018 i finally stopped all my meds after taking just Lithium for about 7 months as it was taking a huge toll on my kidneys:( Now as of about 1.5 weeks ago my doctor and i decided to give Lamictal on its own another shot. I'm excited that i do remember it having a weight loss effect on me (during the last two years i'd gained nearly 80 pounds due to antipsychotics and lithium completely messing up my thyroid &amp; such). 
But!- since i've started i've really noticed my BPD symptoms actually worsening than when i wasn't being medicated! To anybody else who has taken it: did you have problems with mood swings &amp; paranoia when first starting? did it lighten up or should i bring this up w my doc my next apt? (for reference she's having me start on 25 mg twice daily)
