Ok, so I started the 200mg of Lamictal last night. I know to watch out for "the rash", but I honestly don't know exactly what to watch out for. When the doc explained it to me, I didn't realize to ask. I know that chances are nothing will happen, but I also don't want to freak out every time I see a new red bump wondering what the heck it could be, when it turns out to just be a new zit or bug bite or something.

So for those who have had "the rash" can you tell me:

Does it happen slowly or like overnight?

Is it something that itches?

Is it a rash like a heat rash or bumps like chicken pox?

Does it show up all over your body or like just parts of your body? (i.e. legs, arms, face, ect.)

Anything else that would help me know when it is something I should worry about or something I just need to put more zit cream on?

Thanks!
