Went to the doctor today - she told me to get off lamictal. Its hard to tell if the symptoms will develop into a more serious condition or just pass, so it just isn't worth the risk. With everything that was going on - mouth sores, sore throat, puffy/irritated gums, swollen lips, irritated ears, and little red spots on my arms and chest that were probably developing into a rash - it doesn't seem like a good medication for me.

I'm horribly disappointed, I've been down all day. If there are no allergic reactions like mine, lamictal seems like such a great treatment option, especially for people like me. I keep wondering if I would have been alright if I sat it through a little longer, or started out with a lower dose and increased it more gradually. I guess I won't know. Oh well. I'm going to see my psychiatrist wednesday... hopefully he'll have a good plan in store.
