I have a question that I hope someone can answer about Lamictal.
I just moved from 50mg once a day in the morning to 100mg once a day on my 29 day now, time flies sometimes :)
I do not or have not seen a rash but I am feeling itchy right now, almost like bugs are crawling on my skin. Is this normal as you get to the higher doses? Is this just because it is my first day at the higher dose? It is not bad enough to be littl more then creepy (I hate bugs crawling on my skin). I think and others who know about the BP think that the Lamictal is helping so I would hate to stop on this now unless I really need to.
Thanks in advance for you advice and help.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. 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...
Id keep an eye oin it or call the pharmacy??
Yes I shower every day with soap and not I don't have crabs.
That is all.

Thanks for all the advice all.
This itching isn't to bad but I wanted to be sure it wasn't a big problem that needed attention right away.
I think the Lamictal is working so I do not want to stop taking it. I will let my Pdr know if a rash starts or the itching gets worse.
Thanks again all.

I am going to check to see if DS has a reading comprehension community that may help you.
I'll let you know if there is. :)
