There are ALOT of questions I've regarding PDD-NOS. I've not found too many keen on discussion (maybe I haven't asked the right questions at the right time, though)

Maybe you could keep a spot on for them as I manage to post them here and there in the Austism forum, if you're a mind to.

Cheers,
Yes, Lamictal is also an anti-seizure med. I took Gabapentin for a few years and it helped me as well. For me Gabapentin was especially helpful because I have sensitive skin and one of the side effects is loss of feeling so it was actually a nice side effect for me. There is concern sometimes because of this though for a fear a child could cut their foot and not realize for example. Lamictal doesn't have the same loss of feeling effects though.

Sure, I'll keep an eye on the autism forum.
