Thanks. I'm not sure. I believe I've heard of others who have backed it down and found some relief. When I looked back at my old post, I think I had just gone from 75 mg to 100 mg. The rash then eventually went away, and I think the word-finding problems must also have decreased. So it could be that you don't have to go off of it completely, though if you have the serious, dangerous rash, I think you do.

I'm definitely looking at whether it's time to make changes. I see a new pdoc this afternoon, and I'm looking forward to his input. I'll keep your suggestions in mind. I admit that I didn't quite follow your reasoning, but mostly because I didn't want to work that hard to remember my neurochemistry. ;)


> i sorta worry that i will get this. i throttled to my current dose of lamotrigine to 100mg in literally the last few days! yes i am crazy and pretty much asking for it, i know. i am just so impatient over really losing my life.

I can understand that. Is it helping? Any problems? If you're feeling some relief and plan to increase further, maybe you can take the next increase slower, if you're feeling a bit better.

Good luck, and thanks for your input.
