- Is it possible to cure the rash fast by stopping taking lamictal when it first begin to appear or will it keep spreading and last a long time before I can get better?
- Is this drug worth taking the risk? I can really try to live without any medication as oppose to putting chemical in my body that may harm me in long term you see.

I take Lamictal. 25 mg is a very low dose. On 100 mg I felt activated, which caused some anxiety. So I now take 75mg and that is working for me. It is my understanding that the rash is not that common and in the case it does happen if you just discontinue the drug immediately and if it gets severe seek medical attention and you should be fine. Depending on how long you've been off your anti-depressant, you could still be having withdrawal effects. I don't know much about hypomania. I personally think it's worth the risk and that you should stay on it a little longer unless a rash occurs. 2 days of insomnia could be from something else, I'd give it a little more time.
