Serious Lamictal Side Effects
Some side
effects of Lamictal, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These include but are not limited to:
- Any unusual bruising or bleeding
- Signs of liver damage, such as yellow eyes or skin (jaundice)
- Signs of a dangerous allergic reaction, including:
o Hives or any rash
o Fever
o Swollen lymph nodes (swollen "glands")
o Painful sores in or around the mouth or eyes
o Swelling of the lips or tongue
Lamictal can cause very serious skin rashes and allergic reactions. These rashes can cause large sections of the skin to die and can cause disfigurement or even loss of life
(see Lamictal Rash.)

Some of these less common side effects include but are not limited to:
