[QUOTE="Steely, post: 77149, member: 3301"] The really dangerous, life threatening rash, is from Stephens-Johnson syndrome. I would call back the ER doctor and tell him that [i]this[/i] is what you were worried about - and ask him if he thinks she has the symptoms of this. My psychiatrist said that any rash that developed would warrant discontinuing the medication immediately, because stephen johnson, once developed is irreversible, and usually fatal, and she would not want to wait to guess about "what kind of rash" it is. That is her version - but she was totally hesitant about starting the medication to begin with - so I know she is overly cautious. None the less, I think if you cannot get a hold of psychiatrist, and the ER doctor is still clueless even after you discuss this with him again - then I would go to your local psychiatric hospital. They can admit her and watch her medically, as well as help her titrate off the Lamictal safely, and start something else. So sorry you are going through this! [/QUOTE]
