In reply to Cindy Lou--Lamictal increases, posted by crinn on January 21, 2002, at 17:43:33
Hi Crinn,
I was having trouble posting for about a week there, so I couldn't thank you for thinking of me! Unfortunately, I've been having no end of trouble lately. Very tired, spacey, foggy-headed ... I'm not sure what it is.This seems to happen quite often after I've been on a med for awhile -- the med kind of "poops out" on me, leaving me worse off than before. I am so med sensitive that I usually react to about 1/4 of the usual dose.
I decreased the lamictal to 50 mg last night. I'm not sure if it will help going off of it or not, but I guess I won't know until I try.
Thanks again for thinking of me -- sorry for the depressing post!

> Just had to talk to my pdoc, as I developed cold sores in my mouth and nose. This is very common right before I come down with a cold, but I'm at 200mg of Lamictal, and my husband freaked-reminding me that SJS is a fatal rash. I reminded him that for someone who is already suicidal, that that is not necessarily a bad thing--removes all the guilt from taking my own life, however, he did NOT appreciate my sense of humor.

> Anyway, the point of my story is when I called my pdoc, he did think I was coming down with a cold, as SJS is usually external (kind of like impetigo), but he also mentioned that the 200mg I was on a *fairly low dose*. So just a follow up to our earlier conversation. I've read your other threads and am glad to see that your se reduced at 75 mg! :)
> Warmly, Crinn
