5 yrs on Lamictal--Rash?

Posted by ruby on March 2, 2009, at 16:28:49

Hi all...

I've read the other posts on this but can't find answers especially for someone who has been on Lamictal for this long. FYI...I had a mild rash after 4 months on L.--went off it for 4 months and reintroduced very slowly and maxed at 100mg, where I've been for 5 years.

So now... I've been sick for over 2 months--laryngitis, tonsillitis, probably strep throat, bronchitis--all upper respiratory. Did amoxicillan--infection returned after I went off it. Went on Levaquin and had an allergic reaction to that--a red pin prick rash on arms and legs. Did prednisone and decadron. Started with new inhalers. Went on Biaxin.

Latest symptom--mouth sores on the roof of my mouth, my cheeks, even my tongue--not canker sores but big red blotches that are sore. I've had them for 4 days and a few are developing white heads. I suspected thrush from antibiotics and inhalers--doc looked and said no--probaby a virus but she gave me nyastatin rinse for thrush just in case. And she swabbed one of the sores.

I just keep feeling worse since the sores appeared--current symptoms are fatigue, nausea, headache, generalized yucky-ness. I've seen 4 different doctors (3 at one clinic but I got tired of being passed around so went to someone a friend recommended and have seen her twice...).

Just wondering now if it is at all possible after all these years of being on lamictal if I could be having an allergic reaction to it. Dear Lord, I hope not. L. has been the best for me.

Thanks for any insight you might have!
