Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi Ruth :-) We have been very happy with the Lamictal and it is Dr. Cohen's favorite seizure med for our kids. Having had Chance on both Tegretol and Carbatrol before this, and seeing how much they both "dulled" him cognitively (although at the time we did not even realize how much it did), it has been a real pleasure to see him "wake up" again on the Lamictal. The rash is something that has to be watched for closely, and it needs to be started and increased very slowly to try and avoid it, but the incidence of the rash happening are low and otherwise the side effects have been negligent if any. Overall its been a very positive experience for us as far as seizure meds go. Hope this helps!! BIG hugs, Kass, proud mom to Chance(8) and Madison(5)-both with mito, and Abby(3) hilandgang@... wrote: Hi all I just got a post from my mom's cousin.
