[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 77342, member: 3527"] WOW, well so much information!! I really appreciate all of it, it's great! As someone mentioned, I did ask her GEN PRAC doctor about the switch and she said that it does take too long to kick in, that she would not be comfortable making a switch like that without the psychiatrist involvement. So, she DID say that this rash does NOT resemble the S-J-S rash, so she said that we should be safe at least from that, but she said that if she keeps having some of the other side effects of the medications, we might explore the Lithium option again another time with psychiatrist involvement. No, the weird thing was and I will have to discuss this with her psychiatrist when she returns, the person who takes her calls while she is gone is her Clinician. She is the one that recommended I not give her the medications until doctor gets back, and then proceeded to tell me to keep the crisis number close by in case she crashes, so they can come get her and take her to the psychiatric hospital. So, for the time being, we are instructed by the regular doctor to continue giving her the medications, especially since they are working well for her, she would hate to discontinue it and take a chance that something else might not help as much. But she did say to keep a CLOSE eye on things, and if the rash starts to get worse and she gets a fever or her mouth starts to swell, to take her straight to the ER, otherwise, she should be fine. This was a little scary!!! I had no idea that ANYTHING like SJS even existed...... [/QUOTE]
