trileptal and lamictal
Thu, 04/12/2007 - 14:36Topic: Parents & Caregivers
My daughter Ariana had her appt. with neuro today and after discussing her behavioral problems at home and in school, he has decided that he is going start her on lamictal while weaning her off of the trileptal. He feels the trileptal can be causing her aggressive and nasty behavior. Hope the lamictal works!! I dont know how many more phone calls I can take from school that they had to remove her from the class or that she flipped her desk over.. :(
Has anyone had their child on both or can anyone tell me anything about lamictal. I do know about the rash issue and of course nervous about that. Thanks
Shar

Well, my daughter got the rash this morning after just starting lamictal on Sat. morning. Her doctor said to stop and keep an eye on her. If she gets worse or mouth swells take her to emergency. Once the rash goes away he will try a new med next monday or so. I'm scared but hopefully it wont get worse. Good luck

she only seemed to have aggresion issues when we would change her med levels or if she was having seizure problems.I'm also worried about the rash.These are the only two meds I feel cofortable with.if she gets that rash I dont know what I'm going to do.
