I didn't get the rash, and I like lamictal, I have no side effects. Starting the dose low, and going up slow prevents the rash most of the time. You can even break the 25 mg and start at 12.5 mg. I know lots of people on this med, and only one got a rash. The rash they got was not the serious one, but they had to stop the med anyway. I hope it works out for you!
