Side effects?

hi all, i have a question for anyone who can offer w listening half to me. I’m 22F and I recently have just been advised to take Lamictal by my psychiatrist who wants me to try the medication.

however I’ve been experiencing side effects and I wanted to ask— is this anything to be super concerned about? I brought it up to my psychiatrist but he doesn’t seemed concerned.

i developed a rash across my body the second day of me taking it. This happened last time I took lamictal but I chalked it up to both times being contact dermatitis.

Well currently I am dealing with a sore throat, a running nose, and nausea. The sore throat feelings slight bad that each time I press the sides of my throat I get the urge to cough violently.

I’ve been taking allergy medicine every 24 hours to help with the throat ache but I am beginning to wonder if my throat might be swelling. I’ve never experienced before, I am autistic and I struggle to know how to tell sensations.

I would really appreciate any advice from anyone who had tried this medication, tell me how your experience goes or if this is normal. Every time I read about it I just see people calling it a miracle drug.
