Lamictal is not a benzo and must be used consistently (daily) to prevent SJS as it requires titration. Generally, those who need it (epileptic patients or those with bipolar disorder) must use it for the duration of their life.

Lamictal is an anticonvulsant, not a benzo. I take it daily as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder.

I take Temazepam with no ill effects, I take it nightly except sometimes when I forget, its been a game changer for me.
