Not for my BP sadly, just my ADHD right now since hospital release (UGH 3/18... too long!) My reaction was so severe it was nearly fatal. I did not have SJ's either... just everything else go wrong. Reaction damaged my liver and my liver count has to be scrutinized by my liver specialist, my internal md and my Pdoc in order to proceed with ANY course of meds for treatment of BP because most (from what I understand and the AP's as well) are processed thru the liver. (Bloodpanels on the 17th and I am dying to start trying new meds!!) I was only diagnosed in mid Feb with BP2 and ADHD. And i was just beginning to deal with my diagnosis, what it means, how it has effected every aspect of my life, etc.. and i began to feel better in just a few days on Lamictal and was SO hopeful. I relate to most of what u are saying and im so sorry you are having a hard time and dealing with the fear of not knowing if you can continue the one med you want most. I am almost 45, a mother of 3, work FT and know all I WANT is meds and I had hoped (as did my former partner--we broke up after I got out of hospital) that Lamictal was "it". Now I have no clue what I will be able to tolerate but still know there's something out there that'll work. (I am an eternal optimist.... i am also manic/hypo most of the time ) I truly hope this works out for you and that it is some anomaly.
If I can suggest something to consider, and you are able (I NEVER would've thought of this had i not, ironically run into a woman who's daughter had a reaction and had SJ and gone blind, etc... out to dinner a week after I got out of hospital) consult with an internal md not just a family practice dr if symptoms persist. They specialize in narrowing down blood work in relation to meds, food we eat, vitamins, supplements, etc... and how our bodies react and function with all we injest.
Keep us posted. I am very interested in knowing how this works out for you..sending positive thoughts your way....wishing you the best.
