To whom it may concern:

I am Bipolar and my current medication regiment is Lamictal (100mg) and Wellbutrin (150mg). I started the Lamictal in January but missed two doses, one last Friday and one last Saturday due to feeling ill to my stomach (my Lamictal disolves instantly on the tongue which makes not throwing up impossible at that point).

Monday I started developing little red dots on my arms. These were diagnosed as Pitikia about 6 months ago due to low Iron. I am now on prenatals and an iron supplement (the Pitikia went away within three weeks of beginning the iron regiment). The red dots (assumed to be Pikikia) are now all over my body, torso included and itch terribly. My skin is flaking, not peeling. My psychiatrist has said it's not the Lamictal (with certainty). I'm not to sure about that. The only change in the past week has been the two missed dosages.

I'm trying to figure out if I should (1) wait until it (a) get's worse or (b) goes away or (2) do something to fix it - ER, family physician, etc.

I'm at a loss and am in agony from itching. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.



Thanks!
