> Hi, question. I take 300mg of lamictal and only have maybe 3 pills left and i dont have the $100+ dollars for my refill until next friday. I know your not suppose to stop lamictal cold turkey, but what will happen if i do?? just for like 5 days??? anyone know

> SandyLamictal is still a "Newer drug" so your doc should have some boxes of the medication to provide you,its not a benzo and im not aware of any abuse potential,so youre doc not doing so would be,well pretty evil,like denying someone water when there tongue is on fire.Hopefully your doc is human and can EASLY pass along a few samples,maybe even a free pen and pad set,i know i had at one point 3 boxes simplpy for inquiring about the medication,wish i still had it for ya.
That i imagine would be the main primary choice,worst case however taurine,a natural amino acid sold in health stores crosses the blood brain barrier and acts very similiar,it stablizes nerver activity through the body and brain,and has been looked at for seizure and anxiety and mood stablization,i have used it myself.
Combing this with a small dose of klonopin iif you can get that might help quell any withdrawal symtpoms,both are inhibitory and both are said to be nuero-protective preventing over stimulation of cell acitivity in the brain.
A great bran is country lifes taurine tabs,it includes a small amount of b6 to help aid it,and it very potent in getting to the brain and cheap.I know i am always able to lower a klonopin dose using these togther.Of course this is a recomendation,researching taurine should be fairly easy.....i rember good info on google using the search term.....taurine the way up.good luck
