Hi Harriet,

Are you on a starter pack? I was so severely depressed and stressed when I started Lamictal in 2004 that I already had bad headaches, so I doubt I would have noticed the difference. But you're started off slow because of the potential side effects, particularly that rash thing. If you are starting, maybe you could begin with one 25 mg tablet for a week (which I thought was recommended anyway) and see if that helps?
