Go Ask Alice Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yes!! I get intolerable irritability when I'm unmedicated or my meds need a tweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yes, I have gotten like this so many times. To me it is like the whole world is going so fast I need scream for it to stand still. It has gotten better. But it starts with me being irritable, not too bad, not out of control. Add stress and anxiety, and also part feeling out of control about something, and I feel like I am losing it. I know you started a higher dose of seroquel 3 weeks ago, but maybe you should call your np back and let him/her know it isn't helping. Sometimes it takes longer than 3 weeks to feel the effect of a dose change, but I'd call your np just to let him/her know you are still having all of the symptoms you mentioned in you OP.

sweetlysinister Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 That's what I was thinking I think I will give it another week but if I'm still feeling agrivated most of th day then I think it might be time. For a change they are thinking of lamictal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I think that sounds like a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetlysinister Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I heard that it can give you a mad rash if you're not careful which is what my doctor is worried about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is called Steven-Johnson Syndrome. If you do get a rash, get it checked by a DR. Some people get a rash with lamictal, but it is not a problem. But in general, getting any rash checked is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aura Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Melissa is right... the rash is very, very rare. In the initial days of taking lamictal you'll need to keep an eye out for rashes, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
