[QUOTE="totoro, post: 50355, member: 3155"] OK, week 3 of no-one returning a call!!! So nice. Anyway, K is up to 37.5mg of Lamictal once a day in the a.m. she is also taking 2.5mg Abilify bid. She has been severely depressed, more than ever before, sitting in the a.m. and just staring out the window, "no-one likes me", "I am the worst kid" lots of staements like that, "When I am sad I want to die" She is also raging again, hitting, biting, tearing apart the room. If I tell her "no" she is falling apart and unable to calm down. It is like she is not medicated... she is cycling worse, having increased night terrors. Basically it has been horrible for about 3 weeks now. She has been on the Lamictal since May 19th, so only 19 days. We are going for 50 mg which will be in a couple of days, day 21. I guess I am wondering if the Lamictal can make her "worse"??? When I told old psychiatrist that she was on Lamictal, her first response was take her off now, that is not a good medication for her... with her symptoms. So now I am so unsure of what to do, new psychiatrist is SO clueless as to K's true personality or reactions... I called her office again this mornng and pleaded that someone call me back. 2 hours now. I am just wondering for those of you that have had adverse rxns. to Lamictal, what were they? I know it takes a long time to start working positively, but should I be seing this??? Thanks Maybe she is just ODD... HA HA [/QUOTE]
