Pledge is right, it can make you lose a couple of lbs, but if you take a "cocktail" of Meds, ask if you are at risk for weight gain. K

Hello Mila2013. Yes it can. Weight loss is a common, normal side effect to taking Lamotrigine. In clinical studies from 5 up to 20% of users taking Lamotrigine reported a loss in weight. Regards pledge
