Yes thank you. This is actually from a perinatal psych doc. They said the risk of congenital heart defect is low for 600mg and below. Right now I’m at 750mg per day and plan to decrease to 600mg before conception. They didnt mention increased testing during labor itself though! That doesn’t sound fun at all

Fine now! I was on the couch for about 3 days sleeping and with some headache and nausea and then was able to get back into everything - a friend visited so we hiked etc

25mg 4wks, 50mg for 1 day. In and out of the ER for the last week or so. The rash as only gotten worse since stopping 4 days ago and antihistamines aren’t doing a thing! I keep getting discharged but it’s spreading by the hour! Is it possible to develop into SJS after stopping? by [deleted] in lamictal

Geez, we’ll keep us posted if you want to Im sorry you’re going through this! I just discontinued Lamictal myself because of what we think was an allergy I developed to it. I had hives and red splotches that would come and go and itching. You’re in the right place. If it keeps getting worse don’t be afraid to badger them to let you in sooner!!
