[QUOTE Rash is very unlikely, (8 out of 1,000 or 0.08%). marked by a pattern of ongoing instability in moods, behavior, self-image, and functioning. These experiences often result in impulsive actions and unstable relationships.Nearly all cases of life-threatening rashes caused by LAMICTAL have occurred within 2 to 8 weeks of treatment initiation. .[/QUOTE]

Wow. Thanks for the good info. I had the rash. I didn't know it was so rare. They did so a quick taper. They kind of made a semi-big deal of it, I thought later, though at the time I was simply like, "Why does my shrink keep calling? Why does my GP keep calling?" I later had to have multiple rounds of blood work and scans of my liver. All the damage was temporary/reversible.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. A name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.
