The rash kept getting worse so I went to see my GP. He diagnosed it as being Lamictal rash & sent me immediately to be seen by a dermatologist.  (As you may be aware, Lamcital rash can morph into a life-threatening condition.)  They took me off of the medication immediately!
So, the moral of this story is... don't presume that just because the doctor & nurse you're currently seeing don't know what's going on here that it's not serious. If necessary... see another doctor.   |
S., That is the height of incompetence. Before you even legal a enough to spell Lamictal they tell you if you get a rash stop immediately and call your psychiatrist. Anyone who works with the drugs as should know to tell the patient. It can be life threatening.
