other medication options

well, I tried Lamictal and started getting itchy almost immediately....I took 5 pills and today I have a slight rash on my neck, and ongoing itchiness, so I will most likely be stopping this medication, just waiting for confirmation from my MD.  Does anyone know of any other effective seizure meds that work well with Keppra and Trileptal, without many side-effects?
