Why did you pick psychiatry?

Do you guys have stories as to why you got into it or did you just find it fascinating?

I would love to hear why, and also how you chose the specialties you focus on treating (such as OCD, PTSD, BPD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and eating disorders etc)

Tattoos and Lamictal?

Has anyone on here had infection from new tattoos when on Lamotrigine/ Lamictal?

My new tattoo is infected as! I have a lot of tattoos that haven't done this and the only one that is infected is the one I got after going on Lamictal. 🫩🫩🫩

I've been on Lamotrigine for about 2 and bit months now. I've just upped it to 100mg from 75mg 2 days ago. I was doing some house work today when later I looked down and saw what I thought was bruises. I seem to get these when I increase the dose.

Does Lamotrigine increase the likelihood of bruising?

Or is it THE rash?

Last time I went to ED for these they said I was fine and told me to go home. But this is much bigger than the other one...
