Lamictal rash? What should I do?

Posted by becksA on December 12, 2004, at 21:49:35

I started Lamictal about 4 - 6 weeks ago now, and yesterday I upped my dose from 100 to 150mg daily. When starting it up, for the first few weeks I started the increase VERY slowly. I only notice a rash begin to develop over this past week. I'm not positive it's from the lamictal, but I can only assume. It's only in one spot, around my mouth, almost as if I were to grow a goatee and moustache it would be hidden...It's at the point now where it just feels very dry and you can only see a faint redness. It's not itchy.
If you get this rash, does it mean Lamictal will not be possible for you, or does it mean you've reached your maximum dose, or that you just need to increase it more gradually? I really think it is starting to help so I'd like to stay on it.
Thanks
