[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 16102, member: 1498"] "The APRN who was managing her medications at the time took her off the Lamictal, probably fearing a lawsuit, but she was sorry to have to discontinue it, thought it was a good drug. by the way, the rash, nausea, dizziness and agitation disappeared two days later." I was convinced it was S-JS when you mentioned the nausea because flu symptoms often preceed that rash. Then I changed my mind when you said it the rash went away in two days. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that the S-JS rash does not go away that quickly. It could have been the benign rash which is far more common with Lamictal or the rash and other symptoms were viral and had nothing to do with the medications at all. If you wanted to restart the Lamictal, you could ask the APRN to research the likelihood that a S-JS rash would disappear in two days. Most people who develop the benign rash can successfully restart the drug. That said, all those symptoms could have be caused by that high dose of Effexor, which was the maximum recommended dose for adults. Doctors were sent letters years ago stressing that Effexor is neither approved or recommended for children and adolescents. [/QUOTE]
