In reply to Lamictal, dang it, dang it, dang it!, posted by gardenergirl on October 15, 2006, at 22:40:16
I never had the rash, but I had the same type of cognitive difficulties you describe, on Lamictal. It showed up very gradually, over the course of weeks of treatment, and took weeks to disappear after I stopped the Lamctal, but I am quite certain that the drug was the cause of it.
There are web sites that describe in detail SJS rashes, and what they look like. As I understand it, many rashes on lamictal are not SJS related, but since you are risking DEATH (!), I'd want to be a sure as possible. Any risk of SJS is not something to mess around with!
Best of luck,
