I've been on it a few months. So far, so good. No rash, no serious side effects (but a few side effects have cropped up). Make sure you follow the strict dosage upping. My doctor went 25mg per week (first week 25, second 50, so on). The rash might be more associated with starting a high dose too quickly.

Only side effects I have experienced are drowsiness (both of my docs agree that's good in my case, though, since my sleep was off before - either too much or too little, now it's 6-8 hours on average), itchiness (but not excessive like the other person said), and headaches when upping the dose (only last a day or two).

It helps enough. Almost had an up, but it went right back to 'stable'. Have had a few depressive moods, but they don't last nearly as long and aren't as intense. I get antsy, though. Largely because I actually want to get out and socialize now. Think that has something to do with the lamictal, too.

I get paranoid every time I get a rash now, though.

Unlockinginsanity - Oh my gosh. I'm having the same thing happen. Inability to find words... I thought it was related to my eating. I did not associate it with lamictal at all. o.O
