Yes, as I recall I started at 20 mg. /day / week. Then increased by 20 mg. / day each week up to 100 mg per day(?) I can't recall exactly. But it was the standard slow increase. After about 6 weeks or so, I developed reddish, slightly raised patches of skin on my chest & redness on my forearms. I had never heard of Lamictal rash & my pdoc never mentioned it as a possible side-effect. I just went to see my GP because the rash looked odd. He sent me immediately to a dermatologist. The dermatologist prescribed some ointment to put on it & a mild antibiotic. It cleared up quickly & with no problem. Of course they took me off the Lamictal right away. Since I had not been on it that long, I was able to stop it completely right away.

My understanding is that if one is going to develop the rash it generally appears after 6 to 8 weeks of starting it. (Although it can develop later.) As long as it's caught early it can be cleared up with little difficulty. It's only when it is let go for an extended period of time that it can become serious. So just keep watch & don't hesitate to check with your doctor if you have a concern.
