Hi all,I'm wondering if I should try my dr's suggestion to go from paxil cr (25mg) to Lamictal.
I have anxiety and depression, and the paxil has done a good job at keeping those at bay, however the weight gain has caused me to be diagnosed with fatty liver and type II diabetes.
My pdoc suggested that I may want to consider lamictal due to the lack of the weight gain issue. Has anyone done this? Looking for feedback.
I know it involves wd from paxil (yuck) but I am curious about other peoples experiences.
//tried lexapro with no success.
