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

The rash was all over her legs and slightly on her lower back. When she woke up it was very red, raised and blotchy. By Tues. night (I didnt give her Tues. mornings dose) it was not so raised and more of a pink. Seems to be getting better each day. Now I have to call the doctor and see what he is going to give her. He said call Monday but I think I'm going to call tomorrow so she can start on the weekend when I can keep an eye on her. I'm not sure how long you have look for it but she only took three doses and there it was. Scary but its going away. Glad your daughter is not having a problem on it. Good luck to you also.
