I was taking Vrylar for about two months and it gave me insane headaches. I was advised to stop taking it and we will discuss other options on Friday at my appointment. 
I was recently diagnosed and vrylar was my first medication so I’m new to all of this. 

Is it rude of me to suggest Lamictal? I also suffer from an eating disorder that’s finally somewhat under control, and I’m terrified to start taking a drug that causes weight gain and spiral back into my ED. 

I don’t want to sound like I know better than the doctor, but from what I’ve seen lamictal works wonders for a lot of people and doesn’t typically affect weight. What’s the best way to mention this to my psychiatrist without sounding like a know it all?
