Have you been experiencing these side effects ever since you started taking Epitec or did they begin with Rivertrol, Cyprimil, Renetec, and Alcera?
From what I could gather, the active ingredient found in Epitec (Lamotrigine), can cause a hypersensitivity reaction primarily occurring as a rash.
I found a brief mention of it here:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1201641/
I would personally suggest weening off of the Epitec, if the rash doesn't go away. Is your doctor aware of the side effects you've been coping with?
