My sister's having a terrible reaction to lamictal--almost every side effect listed--fever, sore throat, cough, backache, rash, fever blisters--you name it it seems she's got it. She's under good care with her pdoc who has also referred her to another specialist for additional care. We thought she had the flu until the rash showed up. Its been almost a week now, even with prednisone and zyrtek and going off the lamictal. It is amazing just how sick she still is.
I'm just wondering if there are others out there who've had this kind of reaction and how long it took to clear up. The specialist is putting her on lots more prednisone and will see her again on Friday. I'm really hoping she is doing better by then.
Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts.
