I've got a rash looking like tiny little whitish bumps each time after increasing dose. It started around neck and chest first, 2-3 hours after taking it, and spread all over the body within the next 6 hours or so. After a couple of days it became less and less. My rash was not the dangerous one linked to Lamictal, which develops dark red, very fast and painful.
When I developed a severe lymphatic reaction I had to stop cold. I had such a relief from Lamictal that I was open to try again. This time I titrate excruciatingly slow.
Side effects were headache, change in vision and problem with balance and got better. Don't know about cognitive issues, I live in a permanent fog since brain injury. I've been told on epilepsy boards about cognitive compromise. The benefits must outweight the adverse effects.
