I also pursued my pdoc to prescribe it to me. I am with Kaiser and this is the first time that I had to sign a waiver regarding the sometimes fatal rash. I think they were trying to discourage me in my quest for lamictal. You know, it is kind of funny because when I first took lamictal, I was looking at my arms, legs and, actually my entire body, for the rash every 5 seconds. I read that the rash can manifest itself even at 6 months, so we aren't entirely out of the woods yet, but I am out of the depression, hopefully for you also. Later.

> Indeed. thank god for the internet and boards like this. I am the one who pursued it with my pdoc. Otherwise I don't think I would've gotten on it either. There's so much (somewhat rightly so) resistance to it due to the rash. Thank god I didn't get it, or at least not up 'til now.
