Re: [epilepsy] Lamictal (Lamotrigine) and Stevens Johnson Syndrome

Gina,

I was older when I was on Lamictal, but I got a rash from it too. It done
good for the seizures what time I was on it, but the rash was all over me. I
was on Benedryl for two weeks before it completely went away. I was switched
to another medicine. The doctor told me that the medicine interacted with
the Depakote I was on. The neurologist said it would work well by itself. I
hope your son doesn't have any trouble with it. Take care.
