I was put on Lamictal at one point. My pdoc never even mentioned the rash possibility. When I started to "rash-up", so to speak, I called & talked to his assistant. She told me she didn't think my rash was anything to be concerned about. After a few more days, though, as it continued to get worse, I went in to see my GP. He diagnosed it as Lamictal rash & sent me upstairs immediately to see a dermatologist.The dermatolotist was on her way out the door when my doctor called her. But she stayed to see me. She took me off of the Lamictal "cold turkey".

I'm certainly no expert with regard to Lamictal (or Lamotrigine) rash. But my understanding of it is that it has the potential to morph into a potentially deadly condition (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.) My personal, non-professional opinion would be that trying to go back on, after having developed the rash once, is simply not worth the risk.
