The reason we got to 450mg (I was at 300mg) was because I was in a depression crisis and suicidal, my pdoc bumped up the lamictal up 150 and it helped very quickly. I think that is the dose that works for me. As for the 600mg. That is a long story that involves another pdoc. I got my pdoc back and we got it back down to 450mg.
The rash is still flaming red and itchy after 6 days, but IS starting to show signs of improvement. The prednisone and allegra have made a big difference. Personally I think it is the prednisone.
I didn't know that it took that long for the lamictal to leave your body, that is really scarey if this is the lamictal rash. I am encouraged though that is is getting better though.
Thank you for your input
