> > >Hi Ted -- my 15 y/o daughter is on lamictal and it worked well for her BP II. It was hard for her because of the slow increase but it really relieved her depression [in combo w/wellbutrin] and stabilized her moods.
According to her, it is an "up" drug rather than "down."
And the rash! My daughter got it and I've read every damn thing written about it and lamictal. You're correct to be vigilant but the chance of this happening to you is remote in the extreme. My daughter is restarting as I write this. To be safest, go slow and stay out of the sun; lamictal can cause an actinic rash and the docs all panic.
Actual panic I can't offer any experience with -- her other issue is drugs. :):)
I hope this med works for you. I've heard from many that it's a wonder for them.
