< < I have developed quite a noticeable rash on my arms, which is stated as a possible side effect of this medication, so I`m assuming that the Lamotragine is the cause; I`m not sure what to do about this - any ideas?
Sweetmarie, you are an in-patient correct? The staff at the facility are aware of such, I presume? If not, notify them. From what I understand, though have not experienced this, it can be a very bad thing, so it needs to be monitored most definitely by experts.
You had said that you are "upping the dose [Lamotragine] quite considerably from 25 mg to 250 mg)." How quickly did you move up and from what dosage to what dosage? That could be the culprit, again, from what I've heard.
Others on here can likely give more input. Best wishes.
