Janelle,
Thanks, I'll pass that info. along to my pdoc.
I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful. I hope things pick up for you soon!

> Hi - to answer your question, believe it or not, my pdoc had me start at a "pediatric" dose of Lamictal - a mere 4mg/day! I'm now up to 125mg/day, but I'm feel like I'm going DOWN hill and I think it's due to no longer being on an SSRI. The reason my doc started me at such a low dose of Lamictal was due to the possibility of the rash (apparently the rash seems to occur at if you start at 25mg/day or higher, but she started me very low and has had me titrate slowly up just to be on the safe side -- I think her goal is for me to be in the 200-300 range, which I hope and pray will work because each day since last week, I'm feeling sooooooooo cruddy.
