I have had terrible skin problems sine I started taking lamotrigine. I've been on it nearly a year now. I hate it! I have acne I've never had before, a rash (not THE rash, just the irritating, itchy one), dry and oily skin all at the same time (like a thick layer of nasty) and a sharp increase in dead skin cells everywhere. I hate this side effect and it isn't working for me. I can't wait to switch my meds!
