I had to abrubtly stop Lamictal 150 mg because I got the rash.
I had hallucinations (open and closed eyed) in the evening for about a week. When I explained this to my DR, she said she's never heard of any withdrawal symptoms. However, I GREATLY disagree with her. Come off slowly if you can. I am fine now; but, the hallucinations were intense and scary.

I have never heard of Lamictal withdrawals.

If you are getting a rash you should never stop the medication slowly; you should stop immediately.
