In reply to Cyclothymia and neurotin, posted by maclover on January 9, 2008, at 13:42:43
> Hello! I am new to this board although I have been reading posts the last couple of weeks. Like many others, I am SO GLAD this is here. There is so very little information out there on cyclothymia.
>
> I was diagnosed a couple of months ago and was first put on Lamictil. I loved it, but, broke out in a rash. My pdoc took me off of that and tried Topamax, I hated it. I was only on it for 9 days but, I was spaced out, REALLY tired and no appetite at all.
> I just saw the doc yesterday and she wants me to come back in 2 weeks to be sure all the med's are out of my system. She wants to try Neurotin next.
> I am currently also taking Effexor, have been on that for a couple of years now and it works great for my anxiety.
>
> Is there anyone that also takes Effexor and Neurotin? If so, how did adding the Neurotin help? Side effects? I'm nervous about starting the new med beings that I had so much trouble with the Topamax.
>
> Thanks!I broke out with a fine rash on lamictal and it went away. If you restart it and titrate more slowly, you may have better results. There is a very slim chance of developing SJS from lamictal. I think its less than 1%.
