[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SJS is a risk with a lot of drugs, including some SSRIs. I wouldn’t let that put you off of it. I’ve been taking it for six years to manage my seizures and it’s been great for my anxiety as well — my psych was able to significantly decrease my SSRI dosage as a result. If the SJS rash appears it is easy to identify. I understand the concern but I wouldn’t let that keep you from trying something that could be highly effective.[/quote] SJS (stevens johnson - skin peeling off your entire body) risk is more severe for Lamictal. "Adverse skin reactions occur in 8.3% of patients taking lamotrigine, with 0.04% of patients developing SJS/TEN. This rate of SJS/TEN is far greater than that reported for other well-known trigger medications " https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5312199/ [/quote]
