In reply to Can't take Lamactil or Gabitril so any suggestions, posted by owenus32 on May 2, 2004, at 18:30:03
> I have anxiety and depression but possibly thought maybe BP11 so doc gave me Lamactil. The first day I felt "normal" it was strange.Felt less energized and agitated . Anyway , I got the rash so had to stop and gabitril made me feel psycho energy. Are there any other options and how do I know if I am BP11?
You didn't say how bad your rash was or how quickly it resolved. If you try everthing else and just can't find a good fit, then you might want to consult a dermatologist along with your pdoc and explore the option of a retrial with Lamictal at a slower titration (what was your starting dose and how fast did you increase?). Scary proposition, I know, and not to be undertaken without a lot of thought. But if all else fails....
