I took Lamictal for only 12 days and had to get off it. I was only taking 25 mgs on the starter kit and the rash I got is so awful, my whole body broke out withing 10 days and I took myself off it. The itch its is more than I can bear. I have taken every drug for bi-polar and nothing seems to help. It seems like my body just can't handly the side effects of the meds.
