Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Lately like the past few days I have started getting like racing thoughts (worse than normal), my hands shake, I can't sit still I'm always moving, I get the 'gitters' where I just can't function and my rash is getting worse. What do you all think, since you guys usually have good advice for me.

Have you called the Doc?

Told her about it yesterday and she said it was nothing to be concerned about (thus why I'm looking for a new dr)

I believe that you should ask for a second opinion - quickly. My understanding is that you can get a very serious, life threatening rash when going on or off Lamictal. Don't wait - call someone right away.

OMG, watch out for the rash, it can lead to 3rd degree burns and land you in the burn unit for a long time! My pharmacist told me that yesterday, cuz i'm not paranoid enough, right!?

I had the rash too... I would get off of it now. My Dr. replaced it with Trileptal...and didn't have me taper off of the Lamctil....I think that's becuase I was on a low dose.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
