Dear Lattecrzy,
I'm crazy about lattes too.
I and a friend I know, got the rash. It was mild and happened during titration upward with the dosage. We both hung in there and are receiving benefit from the drug. I guess, according to SalArmy, we are in the 3%. This doesn't surprise me, though. If there is a small chance of something happening, it almost always happens to me. This does not apply, however, to the lottery.
If the rash persists or becomes raised and itchy, call your doctor immediately. Have them paged. It's a very serious issue.
I have gotten everything from terrible headaches to mild stomach upset from Lamictal, but I hang in there because I believe it is going to work for me, to lift the depression and stop the cycling. It has already started to work in both areas. I am now at 75mg and working toward 100mg.
Don't rush the titration. Major side effects can occur.
Good luck!!
Karen
