[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen was on it for a while and it REALLY helped stabilize his mood. My concern was the possible severe side effect (Stevens-Johnson syndrome) which seemed scary. For this reason, I would not start my child on this med unless I was sure I could get them to take it on a rigorous schedule.[/quote] My kid got a rash three months after starting Lamictal. The doctors swore it wasn’t SJ but couldn’t determine what was causing it. In addition to his psychiatrist, we saw a GP, allergist and dermatologist. They all found the rash to be a mystery and declared it was a coincidence that he and recently started Lamictal. We stopped the medicine and restarted three months later and the same rash appeared. There’s nothing they can say that will make me believe it’s a coincidence. [/quote] Our psych said this side effect was most common with folks of Asian or Latino heritage. Does that apply to your kid?[/quote]
