In reply to Lamictal-minor rash-what to do?, posted by waterfall on December 21, 2005, at 16:05:12
Sorry, I have to disagree with the amazing GG on this one. Hate it when that happens...
If you've got any sort of a rash while on Lamictal, it's in your best interest to see a doctor NOW. And, despite what one might expect, not the pdoc. Get in to see your GP or -- best bet -- a dermatologist. Even thought you're probably right about it not being The Rash, which is very rare and may not have happened to anyone who didn't have organic brain injury (that's what Dr CattleProd told me, anyway), there's also an allergic rash you can get. It's just like any other sort of allergic dermatitis, but it's still good to get it checked out. If you're having one sort of allergic reaction, and you ignore it, it can become more serious. That's why we try to avoid allergens...
(Except me, of course -- I have two allergens running around here, sitting on my lap, cuddling wiht me in bed... Proof I'm mentally ill, huh? lol)
