When I was in a hospital for post-partum depression the doctor I had tried me on Lamictal but I developed a rash on my arm. My meds were switched that same day after a dose of benadryl.
Hi....unfortunately this is the way it goes in trying to find the medication that is going to work for us...trial and error. This may be the one that works for you and you won't know until you try it. I know it's frustrating but once you find the right one, it will be well worth it! I hope this helps and stay positive!
I have used lamictal for my bipolar 1 condition. It is a fantastic mood stabiliser especially for those with labile type symptoms. It is 1 of the newer ones they are using and I highly recommend it.
