I'm getting a rash (not the rash) on Lamictal. I'm okay with it but my husband and pnurse will want to change it. I got it before when I was on it but we didn't know it was from the Lamictal we thought it was stress induced but I hadn't had off of Lamictal. So I need to know what other ms I can take once a day? I'm going to continue taking it until I see pnurse the 13th. I'm super nervous about seeing the on Thursday. My husband is coming with me as last session didn't go well and I almost got sent iop. I've tried to memorize the dbt packet she gave me but I can't remember any of it. I've read it over for hours and it's like the first time every time. Any ideas. I feel so weird and having a ton of anxiety lately.

I've heard about the rash. Thankfully I haven't had that experience since I've started taking it. I hope it gets cleared up for you soon.

Usually to get to therapeutic dose it is more than once a day , the good side is you don't need worry about calorie intake like what's done with say geodon . I know you deal with anorexia. But increases in water has zero calories.

Not all rashes are THE rash. I would get it checked out by a doctor. FWIW IMO more than likely it is not the rash that leads to the syndrome. Please get it checked out. I am just repeating the words given,to me by a doctor which may not apply to you. Titration is the key I am told.
