I was put on it while IP once, I was on about day 7-8 ? And I brushed my teeth and my gums started bleeding horribly, as I was rinsing my mouth my lip just split open , so it was early SJS ( Stevens Johnson Syndrome) It effects mucus membranes and especially mouth , so I stopped immediately of course , I got lucky it didn’t progress.

Although other than IV fluids there is no official treatment for it, it will usually resolve its self..

A fellow IP patient was also on it and it was a miracle drug for her.

I had zero side effects otherwise and had high hopes for it.

I never had a problem with SJS while on Lamictal and that’s the one that most Doctors are quick to remind of the possible risk.

I have always had the odd side effects on things.

Have you ever tried Invega? I took that before and it was one of the truly weight neutral meds for me. It brought me quickly out of a horrible mixed episode and my mind was very quiet for a change.
