I noticed on Friday night that my whole body was very itchy but no rash. I have tried E45 cream, Aqureous cream and have tried Vasaline but to no avail. Apary from going to to see my gp we don't know what to do to ease it.

Any advice will be appreciated.
 
Did you go see your GP?

Try an oatmeal bath? I get itchy a lot, also on lamictal...but I don't have a rash or any other worrisome symptoms.
 
Please DO see your GP. You may just have dry skin or something, or it may be an allergy to Lamictal or something else.

An allergy to Lamictal can turn into a serious thing. Especially watch out for drug reaction rashes. (Not every rash is a drug reaction rash, so no worries) google "drug reaction rash pictures" and you'll get an eyeful. It never hurts to also check out "Stevens Johnson Syndrom."
