I got a rash on Lamictal, and I got really freaked out. It turned out it was just a fungal infection, of course.
Anyway, I'm glad you at least don't have toxic epidermal necrolysis or something! It's too bad the Lamictal didn't work out for you, though. I hope you're able to find something that works as well for you without causing an allergic reaction or anything.
