BarbCat, It is amazing you recovered and it is frightening that now so many drugs are off limits to you. I too react to sulfur drugs but I always have. Lamictal is a strange drug. As stated my daughter took it as a 10 yr old and became quite zombie like in her demenor. I was very frightened by it and it took a lot for the doctors to take notice. It took me, husband and the school to reinforce that it was not working for a child to be in this state. My husband and I insisted on taking her off against all the doctors opinions. Thankfully she is ok today. But she got bad. She was always asleep or just out of it. Scary for a parent. I am sorry you went through this. I was told depakota and lamictal are the same drug just a slightly different strength if you will so be careful of that one. As least my daughter's last neurologist told us that. Anyway, I am glad you recovered for the life=threatenly rash of lamictal. That is something we were told about when she began the drug. I was told that lamictal can cause this but I guess in your case the other drug DMPS did. You probably are very careful now what you take. Who do you check with to make sure of no drug interaction?
