Its been 10 month since i last took lamictal!
5mg.. For me that would either mean cutting the pills in quarters or crushing them and putting em in capsules. I really am unsure if i will do that though. Maybe for 10 days or something.
From what I've read it shouldn't be a problem to cut the pills but the question is can they be crushed?? That would be easier for me to do. Ive seen chewables on the net so it seems at least lamotrigine don't need to be coated or anything. Could be wrong?
Ps. I am looking for a doc but for various reasons i don't expect to find one anytime soon. One is the reason above and the other biggie is its hard to get appointments in this country i currently live in.
