Yeah I DID get a rash with lamictal BUT- it came on slowly and I was able to stop it from getting worse with no problems.

It is rare to get a rash, and it is even rarer to get a DANGEROUS rash. Like, talking almost lottery numbers here for the dangerous one.

So I really- wouldnt NOT take the medication because there is a very slim possibility of a rash- when really, its really usually NOT the end of the world.

But I would talk to a doctor. I loved lamictal and wish I could still take it. It was wonderful and if your son can get helped by it... well, I think its worth looking into
