Hello, I am bi-polar 2, and when I started Lamictal, it worked great, but it may coincidentally have caused Vasculitis of my skin. I had acne like bumps all over my legs, and some other areas. I stopped the Lamictal and this eventually went away. I am not sure if it is connected or not? I read online of a few rare cases linking the two together in studies of rare cases. Would it be safe for me to try it again (about a year after I last took it)? I am now on seroquel, and I think it has caused me much depression and weight gain due to increased appetite. Can you please offer your opinion? Sincerely, Kenny

Another problem I am having is extreme difficulty breathing and severe stomach cramps that make it hard for me to breathe- especially while sitting down. I am wondering if this may be related to me taking 3 different sleeping pills? I take Lunesta, Rozeram and Ambien. I only take one pill a night, but I was told by a pharmacist and a doctor that it is okay to mix them up as long as I do not take more than one a night. Months back, another doctor recommended the opposite to the current doctor opinions and suggested I stick with one medication. I also realized that they should only be taken for a short while and not indefinitely from further research, but before this research I had been taking sleeping pills for maybe a year or so???? What side effects/damage could I have caused here? What is a good way to rectify the damage knowing I must also quit the sleeping pills for a long time and future use should be only for special occasions. Thanks again, Kenny Kenny
