Huxley,
You wrote,[...my lactimal..I get rashy...could this develop...?]
If you are taking lamictal, there is in the liturature that a rash could be fatal. Your ER may or may not have experiance with the rash and could think that it is an allergic reaction of another source.
The rash, if it from lamictal, has in the liturature that the rash can allow bacteria to cause meningitus.
Could go to the nearest ER and explain about that you are taking this drug and that you would like someone to consider your course of treatment based upon that the rash could be from the drug since you are taking it? As to how one could differentiate your rash from poison ivy or an allergic reaction, I do not know.
