> I took my first dose of Lamictal today (25 mg) and tonight my face looks flushed. I'm also slightly itchy in some areas. Is this normal? What exactly do I look out for with the rash? Maybe this is the wrong med for someone like me because I always worry about illness, etc.

be worried, lamictal has the potential for onset of stevens-johnson syndrome....if you are overly obsessed with meds, this doesn't quite fit in: the placebo effect is not at work here, in my opinion. call your doctor tomorrow and get reassessed. hopefully, it's more of a titration-related allergy and not SJS....keep us posted, all the best, and do proceed with caution....chemist
