Pawn, I'm glad to hear that things got sorted out!

You mentioned that you took an antihistamine. On that note, I have a cautionary tale for others who might have a serious Lamictal rash -- it might not be wise to take an antihistamine while you are still on the Lamictal.

I did this without talking to my pdoc (used a OTC antihistamine), and it masked the severity of my rash for a while. So when I went off the antihistamine, my rash broke out with a vengeance.

When my doctor took me off the Lamictal, she put me on prednisone (prescription antihistamine), and this slowly calmed down my rashes.
