My pdoc has me on Lamictal as well for depression/anxiety. I am not super sensitive to drugs but I have had some very adverse reactions in the past to particular ones. I haven't had any adverse reaction to Lamictal, and I think it is actually helping stabilize my mood a bit. I was skeptical of it at first like you, mostly because it's labeled for epilepsy and bipolar, not depression/anxiety. Plus that rash warning. My pdoc is actually upping my dose right now and we are going veeeeery slowly to prevent side effects.
