I recently began adding Lamictal to my regimen of Celexa (20mg daily), and T3/T4 (12.5mcg each daily) I am in the middle of my second week of taking 50mg daily according to the "plan" which requires a slow buildup. My understanding is that this is required due to the risk of a possibly life threatening rash. In the days immediately following beginning this medecine I began experiencing itchiness on various areas of my body, such as my arms, hands, legs, and waist. Upon examination, I couldn't really see any rashes, and my psych said that "if you have to guess, then it's not a problem". Well, this week, the itchiness has become slightly less, but it seems that in the region of my back upper arms (triceps) there is a very slight (barely discernible) rash. Nothing I would be concerned about if circumstances were anything other than what they are. My question is: does anyone have experience with developing itchiness in the beginning of Lamictal treatment, only to have it subside later, or am I heading down an undesirable path?
