It's interesting to note that even APAP/paracetamol/acetaminophen can cause TEN or SJS, although very very rare. [1]

For those bipolar folks out there, remember even lamotrigine can cause SJS (still very rare), which is why you should always ramp up the dose gradually. [2]

Almost every bipolar medication has some very scary side effects (either in the medium or the long term). Sadly receiving treatment for it is a constant balance of "If you do not treat it it might destroy your life" and "if you do treat it it might destroy your life".
