[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 137084, member: 4888"] Thank you both. I did look at the prescribing info for Lamictal, and have read everything I could find on the subject, and all of it says to titrate up slowly. I haven't found anything to contradict that. I told the nurse when I called that my son's previous doctor (a psychiatrist) told us that starting at a higher dose increased the risk of Stevens Johnson syndrome, but she didn't seem to think that warranted any concern. I agree he should ideally see a psychiatrist, but the clinic where I took him previously requires that you see a therapist monthly if you're on medication. There's no way my son would agree to that; I'm lucky I got him to agree to go back on the medication. I thought getting my son to agree to try the medication again would be the hard part; little did I know. [/QUOTE]
