"i started lamictal at 25 mg and was instructed to titrate up to 100 mg.  as soon as i got to 50mg, i got the rash. i was told to go back down to 25 instead of stopping completely. 2 weeks later i had a stiff neck, sore throat, burning eyes, mouth sores, red purple rash came back worse than before.  i was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with stevens-johnson syndrome. the most painful thing i&#039;ve ever been through! i am still recovering after being discharged from the hospital a week ago."
