Lamotrigine Rash Warning

Posted by Bob on April 3, 2002, at 0:38:03

I was perusing www.rxlist.com this evening and decided to look up Lamictal. Man! They are not fooling around with that warning. They are basically saying that if you develop any sort of rash AT ALL, that they recommend immediate discontinuation. It's one of the scariest warnings I've seen on a monograph. I don't even see things like that on MAOIs.
You can check it out here:

BTW... they also said a common effect that was found was weight gain. Really? Have people here found that Lamictal causes weight gain?
