Nervous about starting Lamictal for anxiety and mood swings

I’m freaking out about taking my Lamictal for the first time. Just 25mg in the morning. i used to be on Keppra and stopped it cause I outgrew my epilepsy, which is amazing. We’re using Lamictal for my anxiety and mood swings. I’m nervous about the rash, I didn’t have a rash with Keppra but i had like little heat rashes with it. What if i have to stop it and it triggers a seizure. I’m just a big ball of nerves and I guess I need encouragement. Thanks.
