[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 424863, member: 8831"] if you cant get into the pediatrician or the psychiatrist i'd take her to the ER, asap. SJS is serious. you need someone to look at it and make sure that in fact, that *IS* what it is, and not an unrelated illness. she may need to be hospitalized if in fact it is related to lamical. often though, it is related to starting at too high of a dose or increasing too quickly, neither of which seems to be the case here. It would be too bad to not give it a fair trial thinking she is having a reaction that she may not be--9 days and 14 mg is neither long enough or theraputic enough to decide if its the right medication or not (OBVIOUSLY if the rash is related, its not--it can be life threatening). or it may be a completely unrelated rash that has nothing to do with lamictal. but you really have to be crystal clear on what kind of rash she has....and not automatically assume the two are related without confirmation from a medical professional.
