My 21 yr old daughter has been taking lamictal for nearly eight weeks building up to 50 mg in am and 100 mg pm. She is bi-polar not epileptic. She has had an occasional hive but never a rash nor a redness patches. Today she started with a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, stiff neck and body aches. She is also congested and there are a lot of cold going on at her workplace. Should we wait a day or two to see if it s just a cold or consider going to the ER in case these are serious side effects from the medication?
