I ope that you made it to the MD. This rash is not something you should take lightly. There are some serious side effects that can be associated with Lamictal. My daughter and I both take this for bipolar and have been very cautious about the rash.

BTW - Just a warning for anyone who is on Lamictal - Do not try to stop cold turkey. It has the potential for life threatening seizures. This is one drug that you have to be weaned from very slowly.
