Hi, Anna. Just back from a weekend trip (or holiday as the Brits might say?). Anyway, I myself have not heard of what you are talking about but have always imagined (I'd hypothesize, but I'm not sure if I believe my imagination that strongly) that when one puts something foreign into the body (i.e. medication) that the body can and might act funky ... thus, your exacerbation of an existing problem?Anyhow, I'm glad that you have found out what the rash is. With that information, you should be able to rest much better. Now, just to get up to a therapeutic dose for an appropriate amount of time and hoping it works, eh?
I myself am still only at 50 mg/day of Lamictal ... taking it very slowly. However, to help pass the time (as I build up), I've added 5mg 2 times/day of Adderal (which works well for my younger brother) and since I seemed to have some positive effects in the past with Ritalin which then petered out, I thought it was worth a shot ... so far (3 days), I'm better than I was and think my patience in building up the Lamictal will hold out.
Hope you are doing well!
[P.S. Just got a DVD player and am in the midst of watching Dylan's last accoustic shows in England in '65 (?) in the documentary "Don't Look Back." The intro with Subterranean Homesick Blues is worth the bucks so far! Also, got "Man in the Sand" which is a documentary on the making of the Mermaid Avenue albums which are Woody Guthrie songs sung by Billy Bragg and my fave, Wilco]
