> thank you..frankly both drs. told me very little regarding this rash when I started lamictal..i was only worried about the headache(!)..the neuro did mention yesterday that if it "gets worse" to see a dr. - i mean it was a very general statement. I wonder if they see this often and maybe aren't as alarmed as perhaps they should be when their patients call in. The psychiatrist was the same, she never mentioned sending her patients to get checked and she's had a few that got rashes.

> I will call my gp after I get off, he knows everything thats going on w/ me medically..and see if I should go in and see him..hes good - he calls and checks on how his patients are doing, so he would be I think a good choice to keep tabs on this. I'll see what he says. and ask about the blood test..I'm not seeing any new bumps...but i dont know what specifically to look out for except more bumps.I don't know either. All I know is it can get quite serious.....it might not stop at your current state. It's not the sort of thing to be diagnosed over the phone, or the internet, ya know? You need a workup.
