What there is to be concerned about ,and only if im correct here,is wheter or not lamictal is a sulphur med,if it is it is very serious to know if you have allergic reactions to these meds,as results from taking them whille allergic range from minor rashes to the extreme of a case i read where a girl actual had 3rd degree burn inside her body.Not to scare ya but just make sure if u go the lamictal route and i am correct of it being a sulphar med that you mention this to the doc,if hes a good doc hell bring it up.much luck!
