> Any suggestions. I got a rash 4 days after starting lamictal. Discontinued it and 4 days later the rash is almost gone. Should I start up again? Seemed like it was giving me some positive effects.

I started on Lamictal last spring. Initial dose was 25mg daily for 1 week, then up to 25mg twice a day. At this time I developed a diffuse rash on my trunk and arms. This eventually resolved. As of 3 weeks ago, I am on 100mg a day. I take 50 in am and 50 in pm. Last week I started to itch, but no visable rash is present. This is getting better too. This drug has done wonders for my bipolar. Many people on the boards are having very good results. I think you should hang in there and try again. Just titrate slower this time. You just have to be patient for a theraputic response. The chances of developing the severer form of SJS are very slim. Good Luck.
