Hello,
I'm not taking Lamictal and don't intend to since my Neuropathy has changed. I only have numbness now.
I'm familiar with Lamictal in the treatment of Epilepsy but was curious about its effectiveness in Neuropathy and how many here may have tried it. Epilepsy has been my nemesis for almost 54 years with thousands of seizures.
Were you diagnosed with Steven Johnson syndrome? Didn’t your physician tell you to discontinue the Lamictal when you informed s/he of your rash. Do you have neuropathy and if so are you using any medication to help treat it and if so what type and is it beneficial?
Thank you for your reply.
Take care,
Jake

My psychiatrist gave it to me as a last resort for manic depression and warned me if a rash developed to call him. I paged him and he said he didn’t think I should be concerned The 2nd time I went to the ER and then that whole nightmare. Didn’t help depression either.
