Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 It doesn't always cause this syndrome..... it's rare, but it can. It starts with red bumps inside the mouth and a bright red sore throat which is what we started to see with Katera and they weaned her off of it as fast as they possibly could....... not quick enough to avoid a big status episode at the end, though. Anyway, there are other drugs that can cause the same syndrome..... I think Lamictal is one..... but again, this is really pretty rare.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 I think this rash is caused when the dose is increased too rapidly.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 The status event at the end of the tegretol wean is from going too fast. You must go very slowly, especially at the end. We have personal experience of this too. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
