North Hollywood teenager and her father are warning others about the risks of the drug lamictal after the young student developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and spent two weeks in a burn unit ICU.

Ashley Silverman, 14, almost lost her life as her skin blistered, bubbled, and fell off as a result of a severe reaction to the medication prescribed to her by her psychiatrist at a clinic that works with the Los Angeles Unified School District. SJS is a potentially deadly and rare disorder of the skin.
