I had this reaction and it is very dangerous.
Sores/ulcers and the other symptoms you mentioned are symptoms of SJ syndrome.
I would not take any more Lamictal and seek care asap.
Be sure to make sure the Dr.s know you are on this drug and the possibility of SJ because a common and tragic problem is Docs not diagnosing this disease properly and prescibing meds for a viral illness or such which can make this condition worse.
Better safe than sorry.
My quick response and prompt, proper care probably saved me from developing full blown SJ.
Take Care,
Kaye
