Thanks, winter. That was sort of what I thought, but I started it so long ago that I cannot recall what we talked about. The problem is, I can't really do Tegretol or Depakote, because those make me a zombie. I just won't do it. And I wound up in the Emmanuel Hospital Burn Unit in 2010 because of SJS when I was on Lamictal. And yes, it was, in fact, biopsy-proven SJS--I was a board-certified dermatologist at the time. TMI, but LOL, really. So, options are a bit limited. I will look int o Vraylar and Latuda, though, just for kicks.
