Has anyone experienced a rash from Lamictal?

When I took it YEARS ago with dilantin after becoming epileptic, my pediatrician nor neurosurgeon didn't tell me they cancelled each other when taken together which is why I told them dumb pricks, take me off 1 or the other, I ain't going take both anymore.

He just iterated me up a little more slowly to be on the safe side.

I got a really bad rash at the start, but I was told that was normal and should go away in a few days (it did). It was mostly on my feet which is why he wasn’t concerned and told me to be mindful and go to the er if it started in my mouth or genitals. I applied lots of hydrocortisone cream and after a few days it felt much better. But damn did it hurt. I was itchy all the time and my feet were swollen and it just hurt to put on shoes lol.

They say rash can happen when dosage is too high. I was advised that if this happened, lower dosage. Do not stop taking medication and then take normal dosage after that period. You always have to taper back up. Hope this helps!

Yeah... I got the rash on my third dose. Doctor wants you to stop taking it because Stevens-Johnson is a possible cause.

this is what i’m worried about 💕
