HI Ron,
I noticed on one of your posts you said you developed the rash on Lamictal. I just developed a rash this morning. I'm on 200mg of lam for over a month and over four months on it total. I started Lithium 2 weeks ago and just upped the total dose to 900mg in the evening two days ago. This rash is sore and is like poison oak and is on my arms, inner thighs, stomach and chest. And it hasn't gone away upon awakening. My pdoc is taking me off of Lamcital but I'm wondering if it's not the Lithium???
You said severe? What is that? My rash is pretty much covering most of my body and I"m scared. Did you have a sore throat? Did the rash hurt and feel tight like? Were there tiny bumps? Did it itch? I'm worried this is the severe one. How long did it last?
Thanks.
Katia
