I take trileptal and you can get a rash from it. I have a rash right now and it is not itchy. Mine is just flat on my face and you barely can notice it. I have spoken to the doctor about it, she told me that it fine.
And I think if you get the rash it is itchy anyway. But I would call your doctor to be on the safe side.

Hi - If the rash isn't gone by tomorrow, I would check with the doctor IMMEDIATELY! Any drug is capable of giving you an allergic reaction, like a rash. If that is what it is, you need to let the doctor know!!!!! If you experience any trouble breathing, see sores in your mouth, eyes, etc., ANYTHING.....go to the E/R, better yet, call 911!! I don't want to sound over-dramatic, but please, don't wait!
I had 2 very serious allergic reactions to meds last year, and now have to carry and epi-pen with me at all times, to give myself a shot if I break out again. My rash was bright red, began on my back and then went all over my body! It was a flat rash, not raised. I had white spots in the back of my throat. It itched like crazy!
