[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  The thing about the rash is that it's a 6 week issue, not a long term one and it's rare - at least that's what we were always told.  If you can monitor, whether it be by conversation or inspection (mine would never have allowed this), and it happens, you have time to turn it around.  I'd talk to your provider more about this or research more.

I know about the low dose lithium because that was also what we discussed, but by that time, we were lost causes and out of options.  So, I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it.  And, like I said, it was for a really short duration.

It's a tough decision.  I remember being really conflicted about the Lamictal but didn't regret it.[/quote]

Thanks so much for sharing all of this info. I’m really conflicted. She’s been on ZERO meds for a year and done really well, and will go long stretches without any issues. But when the dysregulation hits, it’s pretty extreme, and lately there’s been some anxiety that’s pretty unreasonable (ie, she’s a singer and refuses to talk for days at a time due to worry about damage to her vocal chords). During these times I think to myself “how on earth is this kid completely unmedicated” but we’ve had such hard experiences with meds I’m just afraid.[/quote]
