SJS always is a chance albeit very very very low on most any med not just Psych stuff , Lamictal is actually a anti seizure medication just used off label for psych.

I started on Triliptal a couple years ago and day 5 or 6 my gums started bleeding and my lip split in a 2 places so I quit it ASAP , my Pdoc said we will just watch it as there is no actual treatment other than IV’s for hydration.

I was fine and symptom free in 2 days.

Try not to do catastrophe thinking
Thanks.
I did just read something that to a lesser extent, Seroquel can cause it as well, which I am also taking. Since so far my skin has been okay though, I know I really shouldn't catastrophizing!
Thanks for this!
