In reply to lamictal rash, posted by scarlett7 on May 14, 2004, at 12:26:42
Hi!
I'm sorry you're having such an awful time! It's too bad you can't take the lithium when it was working so well for you.
Don't worry about the lamictal rash. That drug has been on the market a while, and this effect seems to be quite rare. If you do get any kind of rash, just quit taking the lamictal and consult with your doctor or a dermatologist.
I think the lamictal is definitly worth trying. Based on my experience with it and what I have heard, it seems to improve mood ad well as stabilize it, and many people have been very satisfied with it. It has a very good side effect profile too.
Hope this helps.
