Not to discount how serious and cautious one should be, but I wouldn't base your decision off of a bad post.
I was scared to death to take Lamictal and almost didn't because of reading frightening posts. I'm now on it with no problems and it has been most helpful. Had I based my decision on posts I wouldn't be feeling good on Lamictal now.
I had a mild sore throat and a few red itchy areas on my face. I actually went to my dermatologist in terror and he said if you have SJS, you'll be covered head to toe with a rash.
All this being said, use your best judgement and if you get a sore throat or an itch, don't freak.
