My lab results didn’t come back yet for some reason but hopefully they’re there when I see the allergist on Monday.

My doctor isn’t ready to completely write off the lamotrigine because my blood work isn’t there so this all could be something else but like idk I think it’s the lamotrigine because like I said I’m feeling physically better off of it.

Anyway I see him again in a couple weeks. See how things turn out. I just get frustrated by side effects and med switches. I just wish things would stay stable.

Sorry cogladaid, med switches are frustrating. Hopefully your blood work is good so you can go back on the lamictal and if not hopefully the Seroquel works out. I have never been on lamictal as a mood stabilizer, the mood stabilizers I've been on have been depakote, trilelptal so I have no experience with lamictal
. But I have been on Seroquel before and it can be a good med for some people. Hope everything works out either way
