[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 216069, member: 2322"] If he had a positive reaction to Lamictal (it has really helped my oldest with much the same symptoms), but developed a rash, have you considered restarting it? we did that with my youngest, and he went back on it a second time with no rash. Of course it didn't work, but that's another matter. What we did (and what I know some others have done as well) was go slower than the recommended titration. We did it in half steps--began at 12.5 for a week, then up to 25, then on up. It also sounds like seasonal affect depression. Perhaps some short bouts of light therapy might help as well. But I would urge you to consult with psychiatrist again about trying Lamictal--unless I suppose he actually had a case of S-J rash. My understanding is that a number of people develop rashes on Lamictal; very few are actually S-J rash. [/QUOTE]
