I'm curious if anyone else is using Lamictal XR and had VSG Weight Loss Surgery. Normally things digest quickly since I had my surgery and I'm a bit paranoid about using any extended release meds. Anyone notice an increase in seizure activity after having WLS?

I'm 1 1/2 years out from VSG and take it my stomach has stretched a bit since immediately post-op, but not to sound gross, but I used to take an allergy med that would leave in the same condition it entered and I don't have dumping issues or the runs (thank goodness!).
