Last paragraph in the predominately displayed warning on Lamictal and rashes. Personally, it would be a cold day in hell before I took Lamictal. Although, you can get it from practically any drug, even OTC.
ALTHOUGH BENIGN RASHES ALSO OCCUR WITH LAMOTRIGINE, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT RELIABLY WHICH RASHES WILL PROVE TO BE LIFE-THREATENING. ACCORDINGLY, LAMOTRIGINE SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED AT THE FIRST SIGN OF RASH, UNLESS THE RASH IS CLEARLY NOT DRUG RELATED.
DISCONTINUATION OF TREATMENT MAY NOT PREVENT A RASH FROM BECOMING LIFE-THREATENING OR PERMANENTLY DISABLING OR DISFIGURING.
