New pdoc thinks there's a chance I could've been fine (and not gotten that rash on Lamictal @200mg) if I'd not gone so high on the dose. He said a therapeutic dose is 100-300mg and I could've stopped at 100mg but I had no doc the to tell me that. So now I'm at 100mg of Topamax & holding and going to try Lamictal again because it did work before, but just stop at 100mg. I'm on my 2nd week at 25mg and then will go to 50mg for 2weeks then to 100. By the time I see this new pdoc (which I really like) again I will have been on the Topamax & Lamictal combo with Lamictal at 100 for 3weeks. I like that he's giving my brain and body a rest from the APs. He said if this doesn't help, our back up plan is Latuda. Anyone familiar with that? He increased my Klonopin to 1mg 2x PRN &added Restoril (Temazepam) for sleep but it doesn't seem to help much.

I am glad to hear you have found a doc your really like; that makes all the difference in the world. I wanted to wish you well as you move forward and in finding the right combination for you. It is not easy to find that right combination, patience is the key, and you will find it. Best wishes and let us know how you are doing if you have a chance.
