Hi WindWalker,

As Donna has said, SJS can be induced by a vast number of medications, but some AED's, including Trileptal, do carry specific warnings for SJS because they have been associated with an increased incidence of it. However, any rash that appears while starting any new medication should be seen by a doctor.

Furthermore, a full body rash is always of concern. Full body involvement indicates a systemic problem, so this kind of outbreak must always be seen promptly, even if one is not on any medications.

Please, please call your doctor. If you are unable to reach him/her, I might go to an urgent care center or even an ER. I hate to suggest ER to people, but the point here is simply: an MD needs to see you promptly.

I hope you are fine. You are right that SJS is not common. Other, less serious reactions are more common. You are probably ok, but please be safe and get checked.
