lamictal side effect?

[fizzgig]

no, this isn't about the rash.

i started taking lamictal again about two months ago. since then, i've started to have some breakouts on my upper chest and neck. nothing really bad, but enough for it to be embarrassing.

the breakouts started around the time i started taking my meds again and i can't think of anything else that might be causing it.

anyone else have similar experiences or advice?

1. Lamictal can cause some redness rash stuff. I had some from my nose to the corners

of my mouth. Not real bad but somewhat noticeable. Might have gotten worse over time but I stopped taking it so we'll never know.

2. curious about your rash-did it go away? was it the Stevens Johnson rash? did doc check it out? nt

3. it cleared up

i saw my doc not long after and he said it wasn't related to the meds, that it was more likely stress induced (which made sense). i made sure to exfoliate a bit more and drink more water, it's gone now
