Can mood stabilizers cause scaling on the scalp?i have been on lamotrigine 50mg twice a day for a while now and my scalp has started to itch like crazy to the point where i feel like pulling my hair out.i have had dandruff before but never like this?

Lamotrigine can cause an itchy rash which could lead to a life-threatening Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It is likely safest to immediately contact your doctor. Seems also best to find a different medication ASAP, as based on your post, the lamotrigine should be stopped.
