your doctor should definitely be putting you on something else to stabilize your mood right away. get a second opinion.

yes i have changed meds after the lamictal rash and put on Prozac right away didn't work either and went to Lithium which is great. You should be on something right away as snow said.

I tried Lamictal yoo - I didn't get a rash but it made me very angry. They switched me to Topamax. But I agree - you definately need some kind of mood stabilizer- wtf is your dr doing ??

Sorry I can't give you an answer. I'm on lamictal 400mg. no rash, all it does it put money in pockets of pharmacy. I'm on 60mg of cymbalta, same story as lamictal. I was diagnosed with bp at 42. I'm 51 meds never did work, been on many cocktails. Good Luck in finding something that works. Sorry I'm not positive.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
