What else to take for stomach flu besides Pepto?
The symptoms are pain in the abdomen, vomiting, and diarrhea. Viruses are the main culprits that lead to this issue, so antibiotics are not suitable. Besides Pepto-Bismol, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and rested. Hands-on, dry bread like crackers and rice can also make a difference. If the symptoms get severe or last longer then consult a gastroenterologist.

Do I need a dermatologist and psychologist?
You seem to have complaints about skin problems and at the same time you are a little down. Your skin could make you overwhelmed and that's the feeling that can backfire on your skin. One of the ways of discovery of the actual cause of the skin disorder is the dermatological examination, which could be identified as an allergy or an infection. Seeing a psychologist can help you control your stress and feel better too thus inducing favorable skin condition too. Trust me, getting both addressed can make a big difference.

Do my depression medications interact and cause a rash?
The drugs that you have mentioned are solely for the treatment of depression, and the great news is that they do not create any major interactions. The rash might be a result of the use of one of the medications, possibly Lamictal. Rashes can often occur while one takes this drug. I suggest you reach out to your doctor, inform them about the new symptom, and find out the best way to address it.
