Don't get the rash. The rash can kill you!!!
Your doctor must have talked with you about this... you must discontinue immediately if you see any signs of a rash. Read about it.
FROM NAMI (national alliance for the mentally ill):
Lamotrigene (Lamictal) shows promise in the treatment of Bipolar depression and in the prevention of depressive episodes in Bipolar patients. Lamictal can cause a rash. Although this is usually benign, Lamictal can also cause a rare deadly skin condition so it is important to tell your doctor and go to an emergency room if you develop a rash soon after starting, when changing doses or when starting a new medicine while already on Lamictal.
The rash is bad.
