lamotrigine can cause Steven-Johnsons Syndrome. You need to see a doctor ASAP if you are having rashes.

When I first started, I had to start taking it at bed time. Then after about a year I was able to take it in the mornings with the rest of my meds.

Yes, definitely... I couldn't work or drive on lamatrogine. I only lasted about 2 weeks on it. Was one of the worse medications I've been put on...
