[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 230252, member: 3444"] CM30, his neuro was very leery about the whole rash thing. He got it when he initially started Lamictal -- just limited to a large patch below his armpit on both sides of his torso. It was red, bumpy, and then it sort of flattened out and turned dark. It took a couple of months to go away. Then he was okay for a few months, and then it came back again, this time in the same area plus on his forearms and shoulders. It followed the same pattern as it resolved. The neuro just did not want to take any chances that it could get worse. Plus, it never completely addressed his seizure issues (although it was great for stabilizing his mood!) So no, I don't think they'll even consider going back to it. Tegretol was suggested by the psychiatrist for his mood issues, but I'm not sure if it will work for his particular type of seizures. They are simple-partials and the symptoms are purely autonomic in nature (dizziness, nausea, feeling like he's going to lose his bowels, sweating, skin flushing, etc.) The worst one made him pass out while he was driving. The ones he has now are very, very mild, and more of an annoyance, but still something we want to keep in check. [/QUOTE]
