> > Hi, my pdoc warned me of the rash, that he had a dermatologist available for consultation who was familiar with it, and I should be careful for sore lymph glands... For any change like this, i would really encourage you to call your pdoc. S/he needs to know... As far as my experience: unfortunately, i ended up with swollen lymph glands shortly after starting, so i stopped it

> That's wierd. I've been on Lamictal for 8 months now and on 2 occasions my lymph glands have swollen-w/in the space of a couple of hours-to the size of tennis balls. In both cases things resolved w/in 24 hrs. I had suspected the Lamictal was implicated somehow but wasn't aware it was something to watch out for.

> J.It says right in the literature to be aware of and report immediately swollen lymph glands. I would be very cautious. Sorry you don't get great psych care where you are. I feel so fortunate, my sons pdoc is wonderful. Karen Curtis
