> Just to second Emme's posts, strange rashes, inflammation, etc. with Lamictal need to be checked immediately by a doctor. Apparently, those above the neck (especially in sensitive areas with mucous membranes) are of greatest concern. It could be something else altogether, but don't take a chance. And yes, depakote increases your level of Lamictal by reducing the rate at which it's processed.

> I've had no problem with 150 mg/day of Lamictal (I titrated up very gradually), but everyone reacts differently, and there is some level of risk (although quite low) involved.Emme/Veridis
I'm currently taking 150mg/daily of Lamictal and
500mg/daily of the Depakote. I also take Effexor XR 187.5mg/daily as well as a few other meds.I'm not sure where to go from here. I have a 10:00 am pdoc appt today and I'm in a LOT of pain right now. I've taken all the old rx's of pain killers I had in my medicine cabinet and already taken them all and I'm still in PAIN. ugh!!! I hope she will prescribe something strong for me. Maybe I might need an antibiotic too??? Or maybe take an antihistimine???
I'm not very knowledegable on all this med stuff. All I know at this point is that I want to get rid of this PAIN!!! It just about has me in tears. :(
