"i started at 25 mg of lamictal. after 2 weeks my doctor increased it to 50 mg. 2 weeks after increasing my med i noticed a minor skin rash on my chest one night. i overlooked it &amp; continued taking the lamictal. when my doctor increased it to 100 mg that is when i started having a bad reaction. that night i broke out in a bad rash on my chest, stomach &amp; left arm (not my right arm). i also started having bad chest pains. i called my doctors office the next day &amp; the nurse told me to stop taking the lamictal &amp; go to the hospital. i&#039;m stubborn, so i refused to go. my chest pains had gone away &amp; the rash was clearing up, so i wasn&#039;t as worried about it as i was the night before. i decided to go to the emergicare instead &amp; i turned out to be ok"
