Okay, here's my ongoing saga - doc has added LAMICTAL as mood stablizer, starting slowly - a week on 4 mg, then 5 days on 6 mg ... I'd really appreciate it if anyone who has taken or IS taking Lamictal could tell me how they did or are doing on it.
I asked about the rash side effect and my doc said getting a rash happened to people mostly back when Lamictal was available in 10 mg as smallest dose, so people were getting too much at once (too strong a dose) and this was a factor in the rash. She said now that there's lower doses to start on and gradually increase, the incidence of rash has gone down. Hmmmm ...
