Suggest Treatment For Tegretol Induced Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

I am positive I have Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from Tegratol. What is the treatment for that? Is there any? I have been suffering with it now for a few years and been misdiagnosed over and over and told that it is hormone changes or a hair follicle infection and that they are just very difficult if not impossible to treat. Now I am scared. I am going in to the ER and my DR with this info tomorrow but can you tell me...what would the treatment normally be?
