I understand that most rashes on Lamictal are benign.

That is good to know. I wonder how many people have been taken off Lamictal because they developed an unrelated rash at some point. I hardly ever get rashes, so I'm hopeful. I really want this med to work as a mood stabilizer for me. I did do a google image search for the Lamictal rash, so I have a good idea what to look for.
