Re: rash and lamictal?
Fri, October 20, 2006 - 11:41 AMthat's the the greatest danger with lamictal. if you take it and develop a serious and sudden rash, your whole body will rejected and you can go into anaphylactic shock (i hear it's like being burned alive..sorry for the morbidity). Kiddo, it was fortunate that you stopped right away. Lamictal is know started on very low doses for that reason. sometimes your body will adjust. And when you start it, being monitored is the safest route. i'm taking it now (200mg x3/day). I've never had the rash before and probably don't have to worry about that because your body will tell you early if you're allergic or not. -

Wed, November 1, 2006 - 12:48 AMSJS is the common severe reaction, which is rarely life-threatening.. TEN is the really nasty one and it's very, very rare..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxi...necrolysis
The big thing to look for, from my understanding is fever..
"SJS is characterized by a flu-like prodromal period of fever, sore throat, and headache followed by the sudden development of circular mucocutaneous lesions (target lesions) that can cover the majority of the skin. These lesions begin as macules and can develop into papules, vesicles, blisters, or urticarial plaques. Cases involving greater than 30% of body surface area are termed Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS) or Lyell's Syndrome."
