Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the extremely rare lamictal rash. Even if you were one of the rare people to get it, it certainly could be treated before it became fatal. You hear about it so much because MD's don't want you to blow it off if you get it, thinking "oh, it's just a rash."

Lamictal might e a good med for you. Weight neutral and relatively low side effects for most people. It helped me a good deal with mood, although I have found Abilify (an AAP) to be the most helpful for me and my brain chemistry.

Best,
