A lamictal rash is an allergic reaction. Like all allergic reactions, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome can occur. This is potentially fatal. So the lamictal rash is as serious as rash can get. After checking with a doctor to make sure you really do have the lamictal rash, you need to quit taking lamictal immediately. If you don't the chances of you developing Stevens-Johnson Syndrome increases greatly.

Would 12.5 mg of Lamictal cause a slight rash on your stomach and a blister on your cheek?

It's a low dose for an adult... BUT yes Lamictal could be causing these effects. You should report this to your prescribing doctor IMMEDIATELY. It may be unrelated to the Lamictal, but it's quite likely that it could be due to the drug, especially if it's newly (under 4 months) started. In this case it's a sign of a more serious side effect of the Lamictal. Your docor will probably want to change your medication pretty rapidly if this is the case. Please don't panic however. I'd be grateful if you tell us how you get on.

Are the side effects of starting a 3 yr old on Lamictal too high?

Only you and your child's pediatrician can decide that. However, Lamictal does have a particularly dangerous,but *rare* side effect of a sever and sometimes fatal rash. In studies, 6 children out of 952 developed the rash, just to give you an idea of the chances of this happening. Discuss this side effect with the pediatrician who prescribed the medication. Good luck.


What is the safest starting dosage of Lamictal?

The absolute smallest dose possible, then ramp up very very slowly. Starting at too high a dose can trigger a potentially fatal rash called Stephen-Johnson's Syndromein which the skin falls off in sheets in some people. If a rash appears at any time while taking Lamictal contact the prescribing doctor instantly and he will refer you to a dermatologist for evaluation. If it is a Stephen-Johnson's Syndrome rash, the drug must be totally discontinued immediately.
