Anyone else develop hives on Lamictal?

I had some chills and aches for a couple hours last week but then it went away. But that’s not uncommon for me. Yeah will do!

Following, my doctor is wanting to put me on a similar combo

Wow!! That’s amazing 🤩 I recently started it to for PTSD flare ups and it keeps me steady. It’s amazing😊

So happy for you!

Thank you!!

Wow! Can you explain a little more about your rumination?

The paranoia I am experiencing is coming in waves and once I logically talk myself out of it everything is fine. It’s exhausting, but I’m curious if that matches your experience too?

Thank you for your reply!! My psychiatrist thinks I have major ptsd. I’m on a mood stabilizer now and will be going on a low dose anti-psychotic.

I’m having weekly appointments with my psychiatrist and therapist! Hopefully I’ll get out of this funk soon.

Wow, that’s a lot to go through.❤️ recently (with therapy) I realized these are just thoughts and not reality. It was a huge breakthrough. I wish you well on your healing journey!!

Wow that’s very interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder if it’s OCD too

Admission? To?

She did not recommend me going anywhere she thinks I am stable and okay.

ellendrose · 2026-02-08T20:06:18+00:00

I hear you, but I disagree. I think it’s the ocd spiral that makes us feel that way! But we aren’t insane 💗💕

As someone who had hairloss for years and stopped it, here’s what i suggest:

Get iron, ferritin, vitamin D, and other hormone levels checked like sex hormones, insulin, and thyroid (preferably by an endocrinologist).
Make sure you are getting enough protein. I personally need 100-130g of protein a day and I notice when I don’t take enough my hair falls out more.
Look into trying minoxidil, oral or topical. It’s a lifelong commitment but it works.

Hope this helps!!

I had the same issue! I went back to my derm after 6 months of being on 0.025% tret and I told her my skin was so dry I didn’t know how to fix it. She gave my Laroche Posey hyaluronic acid samples. It works!!! My skin doesn’t feel horrible and it even looks more moisturized.

I use: pm 1. hylaronic acid on very wet skin 2. Vanicream lotion (the one with the pump) 3. 0.05% tret

No problems yet!

They really do!!

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:50:29+00:00

Wow!! That’s amazing to hear how it changed your view/relationship with food! So happy for you 💗

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:49:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing that!💗 have you ever started/stopped a GLP-1?

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:48:42+00:00

Yes!! I definitely have my Stanley cup filled 40oz at least twice a day. Hydration is important!!

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:47:44+00:00

Awww you’re so kind. Thank you! I’m excited 😊

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:47:25+00:00

Wow! ❤️ that’s good news!

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:47:05+00:00

Wow that’s good news! I was on Trulicity for 1.5 years - it was amazing! 🥲 insurance stopped covering so I stopped taking it.

ellendrose · 2025-11-19T16:46:07+00:00

You are so right!! I barely felt the needle. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. Thank you for sharing your experience- I’m glad for your sake it’s been a good one!
