Hi,
Are you still here? I just got a rash all over my body this morning. I've been on Lamictal for about four months now steady at 200mg for over a month now. I just started Lithium two weeks ago and two nights ago I upped it to 900mg. I paged my pdoc today and he told me to come off of Lamictal. One, I hope he's right and it's not the lithium. And two, I'm really really scared this is the SJS one. My throat hurts slightly and my temp is 98.8. The rash hurts and looks like poison oak in the beginning stage (small teeny tiny welps in places and just a red rash in others). I"m on antihistimines now.
How do I know?
Katia
