In reply to lam rash in it's first stages?, posted by pork chop on December 7, 2002, at 12:20:59
Pork Chop,
You may want to go much slower. I've been up to 600mg Lamictal and no sign of rash. The way I did it was to increase incrementally by the week. At first only by 12.5 per week. If you have any problems, I would immediately go down to your previous dose and try to work up more slowly.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Peter
> Okay, I know I just posted a few hours ago, but since then I've developed a smooth, itchy, slightly larger than quarter sized red patch on my throat. I threw some hydrocortisone on there, but the itch is really annoying. Is this "the rash"? I think I'm going to call the Pdoc.
