> > > I was reading an article & it said that one in fifty to one in one-hundred patients will develop a potentially fatal rash. I was thinking about asking the dr for it but it seems so dangerous. is this drug new? and is tegretol as harmful?
I should also point out that of those unfortunate few who do develop the rash, a significant no. continue with Lamictal (obviously due to its benefits) w/o the rash progressing into anything more serious (ie Stevens-Johnson rash, an often fatal condition).
