Emme,
Thanks for your very thorough message...sounds like you might be a reporter, or at least somebody with a reporter's knack for research.
I'm going to check out the sites you mentioned. Who knows? They might have some information on another drug I should try. I was very pissy over the rash (and feeling sorry for myself) when I initially posted my remarks. I'm okay now—back to the Depakote and off my anti-depressant (Zoloft, 100 mgs). Frankly, I'm moderately depressed but functional, exactly as I was on the Depakote and Zoloft combined. So I'd rather take the one—it allows me to sleep—and leave it at that. (I'm not feeling perfect, but who is?) Anyway, in closing, perhaps I'll try the Lamictal again after the holidays and titrate up more slowly the next time—say up by 12 mgs increments. Thanks, again, for taking the time to post a response. I hope you're feeling well and have a decent holiday. L
