Hi @minajo
I had a mild skin rash with Lamictal, but nothing serious. My major problem with Lamictal was sleep, I got severe insomnia with this medication which was killing me.
Hope Lamictal works for your daughter. Among the medications AEDs I have tried (Lamictal, Tegretol, Trileptal, Gabaneurin and Vimpat), it was the one that gave me the least side effects. Every person reacts differently. What has not worked for me, might work for others.
Good luck!

Thank you! My autistic daughter has never , in her 48 years, slept soundly, just naps i call them! Takes Melatonin but her epileptologist suggested Lamictal after Zonegran caused weight gain, mild kidney changes, ammonia elevated slightly.. her neurologist who handles autism, Seroquel and Buspar is against changing to Lamictal.. hard decision.. thank you
