[quote=Anonymous]Another view of Lamictal. My DD has epilepsy and was on Keppra. This gave her movement side effects and at 16 she announced she would no longer take it. I was able to talk her into at least tapering it off rather than stopping abruptly. (Note: She had no driver's license and was disqualified for one because of unmedicated epilepsy.) She went without seizures for a couple of years, then she had a couple within a few weeks, the last of which landed her in the ER because of a concussion. After discussing her previous medication experience with her, they recommended Lamictal. The rash is a real danger, but it shows up in the first two weeks or so. You have to be very alert and get immediate medical attention if it does. My DD didn't get the rash and we have been home free with zero side effects. It has been a miracle drug for her.[/quote]
