Please be careful with lamictal. I had 4 Seizures in 2 years. The last one caused me the ability to read for about 4 days. I had to train myself words again. I know I am in the real minority here. I also exhibited the rash they warn you about and to seek medical care immediately. I should have stopped then. I was blindly listening to my psychiatrist

Hello,
I'm not taking Lamictal and don't intend to since my Neuropathy has changed. I only have numbness now.
I'm familiar with Lamictal in the treatment of Epilepsy but was curious about its effectiveness in Neuropathy and how many here may have tried it. Epilepsy has been my nemesis for almost 54 years with thousands of seizures.
Were you diagnosed with Steven Johnson syndrome? Didn’t your physician tell you to discontinue the Lamictal when you informed s/he of your rash. Do you have neuropathy and if so are you using any medication to help treat it and if so what type and is it beneficial?
Thank you for your reply.
Take care,
Jake
