I didnt get a rash. You have to work your way up to an effective dose. I'm now on 175mg. How much did they start you at? I have noticed a change in my mood lately but I also have been having ECT. It's hard to say what method is helping me. I would say I've been less irritable overall, not sure if its the lamictal though.

That's a typical starter dosing, jlock. I didn't notice an actual change in mood so much as a leveling of of my moods after reaching my therapeutic dose of 200mg.
