G'day all,
My 15 month old son Luke, has been diagnosed with Epilepsy, back in August, after experiencing frequent atonic seizures.
Prior to the 21st, his medication consisted of Clobazim, Topamax, and Frisim, with limited success in controlling the seizures. We started the Lamictal on a very low dose 2.5 mg per day as per our Paed. neuro instructions.
Early Thursday morning, Luke awoke with a fever. We took him to our GP, who subscribed antibiotics for a suspected throat infection. Then Saturday he broke out with a rash over his body. We took him to local emargency dept. as recommended by our paed neuro, but they had no idea about Lamictal, and suspected it to be a viral infection. They said there is no way of knowing for sure whether the Lamictal is the cause.
We have decided to cease us of Lamictal - Do you think we have done the right thing?
