> In my experience, no. I always, always wear sunscreen, but the feeling of the sun on my bare skin just feels like it's on fire. I am not getting any color, but it hurts. Hard to describe. I just want to run for cover. It's amazing how much time we spend in the sun and don't realize it.
> I hope you don't have this reaction! Or just go to the thrift store like I did. I bought tons of mens long sleeve cotton shirts. I wear those with a huge straw hat, pants and gloves in the garden. I am sure my neighbors just think I am afraid to get dirty or something!
> Good luck
> ChloeSounds like a nasty side effect. I haven't noticed anything like that yet, but if I do, I'll know what to blame it on. Has trileptal made you very tired? I'm am so exhausted and don't know whether it's a cold coming on, or the drug. I'm only at 225 at the moment, so it's hard to believe it can be doing much to me. I noticed in one of your other posts that you're hoping to reduce the trileptal. Good luck with the shifting meds.
