I have generalized anxiety disorder and depression. My 16 yr old son in bipolar. Friday, we're going to his pdoc to try putting him on lamictal. He's been on so many meds that the thought of a new one with the possibility of death is freaking me out.
Is this death rash really rare? Does it make you feel stoned? What's with the hair loss? Is it worth it?
He's tapering off zyprexa and prozac now and I'm on the edge of my seat hoping we avoid a rage. He gained 50 lbs in about 2 months. He's been on seroquel, risperdal, inderal, neurontin, valium, and depakote with this pdoc. Before that there was Luvox, mellaril, ritalin, and so many others over the last 10 years.
If anyone has taken this lamictal or is taking it,I would really appreciate any advice. I feel like I'm putting the kid's life at risk.
