Hello! I am new to posting but have been reading postings for awhile. I have so many questions about different meds and since no one seems to understand what I go through, I thought this would be the perfect place to finally find some understanding among people that are going through the same things. Hope that made sense. Here's my first question.... I have recently been put on Lamictal for mood swings and when I started taking 200mg, I started getting red sores on my face, like red, bloody sores that would have skin peeling from them. I told the doctor but she said Lamical can cause a rash but this sounded more like a dermatologist issue. The sores did not go away and bacame so bad that I didn't want to leave the house or wear makeup. When I weaned down to 50mg, the sores started to disappear. My doctor is still adament about Lamictal not causing these sores but I say it did. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of this? Thank you for your input!
