yep, most lamictal rashes are benign.. the really deadly one is super-rare. I got a rash one day (like hives) when I was titrating up lamictal and I called my Pdoc. He had me describe it, and wasn't too concerned. He just said, "monitor it and call me if it gets worse."
It went away. He said most rashes are no big deal, the "BAD" rash is super-rare but can cause your skin to die!
