I would strongly advise you to call your pdoc IMMEDIATELY!!! After dealing with the mouth problems as you are having, then my legs started breaking out in rashes all over. The itchiness was unbearable. Getting rashes on Lamictal is not something to play around with. If it ends up being SJS, it has the potential to becoming fatal in some people. Word of warning, I came off Lamictal cold-turkey when I was on 150 mg daily. It was HELL!!!! The headaches were EXCRUCIATING!!! BTW, my withdrawal took about 3 weeks. I still have some itching and take med as required for it. You really need to call you pdoc NOW!!!
Good luck!!!
