Concomitant use of Valproate (see Dosage & Administration).
Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Very rare: Hematological abnormalities (including, neutropenia, leucopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, pancytopenia, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis), lymphadenopathy.

**Rash has also been reported as part of this syndrome which shows a wide spectrum of clinical severity and may, rarely, lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and multi-organ failure. It is important to note that early manifestations of hypersensitivity (e.g. fever, lymphadenopathy) may be present even though rash is not evident. If such signs and symptoms are present the patient should be evaluated immediately, and Lamotrigine discontinued if an alternative etiology cannot be established.
