A rash that is not Stevens-Johnsons syndrome (that's the truly dangerous rash) often appears with Lamictal. Unfortunately, it seems to show up the face.

Different pdocs handle it in different ways. When I had the rash my pdoc called in a dermatologist who was in the building to quickly check on me. The 2 docs determined that, as long as the rash didn't get worse, I could remain on the Lamictal. I wasn't feeling good about the higher dose I was on anyway (I felt "flat"), so we dropped the dose a bit. After a few days the rash went away. It has never returned. I am on 100 mg. per day.
