[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 161994, member: 1498"] You can get Stevens-Johnson from any medication. The Stevens-Johnson Foundation site refers to a case caused by Tylenol. Many, many drugs of all classes have warnings about Stevens-Johnson specifically or about a rash for which you should immediately contact your doctor. The anticonvulsants as a class have a slightly higher rate of S-J than a lot of other drugs. It was initially thought that Lamictal had a higher rate than the other anticonvulsants but as it turned out, it probably doesn't. Anticonvulsants are initially tested with another anticonvulsant in place. It seems that it's the combination of Lamictal and Depakote that was the cause of the initial cases which led to the warnings. That and starting doses that were too high. I've heard of more people getting S-J from Trileptal than from Lamictal. I think Dilantin is the worse. [/QUOTE]
