re playing with fire in using the SamE, taking many chances of having a serious side effect. Since rash
and hives are also a part of SamE
and the
Lamictal, maybe if you stopped the SamE, and tried the Lamictal would be better. I would go back to your doctor and ask him exactly what he feels your chances are of developing another severe condition with the new medication. Keep in mind that he is well aware of your history and if he prescribes something that could cause the same, he is liable.
