A 4th doctor has suggested I take Lamictal for my depression. At this point I give in... If 4 different professionals suggest this med then I suppose I should give it a go. This last doc took time to get to know me, she seems very knowledgeable and I just get a sense of calm and trust with her so I am inclined to go with her recommendation.

First she suggested Lithium but I have heard too many horror stories. Many people have reported in favor of Lamictal so I was more comfortable with that. Although if anybody likes Lithium over Lamictal let me know! I am open to hearing all sides!

So to my question and I am sorry if it has been asked before! What do I look for when it comes to "the rash" SJS? Is it a fever and flu like symptoms or blisters or itching or a rash or?? And are there different rashes to look for or is it just SJS to be concerned about (aside from an allergic reaction of course)?
