Don't fear Lamictal

Lamictal has done amazing things for me. It's evened me out a lot, and let me live a more productive life. But there are some fun side effects like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which is a nasty flesh eating rash. And now, they say it can cause aseptic meningitis.

"Aseptic meningitis is inflammation of the meninges - the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord."

Lamictal has only been approved to take for 18 months or less, but doctors use it for much longer. The weird side effects show up in the first month or so, so if you're on it, keep taking it. You're not going to get any of these side effects. Really.
