Lamictal (lamotrigine) is considered a high-risk medication primarily because it can cause serious skin reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which can be life-threatening. It also requires careful dose adjustments and monitoring, particularly when starting or changing doses, to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Additionally, Lamictal interacts with other medications, which can complicate treatment regimens.
