In reply to Took double dose of Lamictal for 6 days. Help!, posted by ihatedrugs on September 13, 2012, at 19:52:01
> I've been on 200mg Lamictal for about 8 months. My insurance changed and now I'm allowed to get brand name meds for $30.00 so I switched to brand name Lamictal as I've read it's superior to the generic version. Somehow, I forgot that the brand name Lamictal comes in 200mg versus the generic 100mg. During the last 6 days I have been taking 400mg of Lamictal instead of 200mg(I counted the pills in the bottle). I've had a massive headache and my mood went from functional to severely depressed and angry. Will my mood stabilize now that I've corrected the dose or have I screwed it up and the Lamictal will not work at the lower dose? I know I will know in a few days but has this happen to anyone? If so what was the outcome. I'm so afraid this will bring me back to the darkness.

I wouldn't worry about the Lamictal dosing mistake. Lots of people with epilepsy take 500 mg/day. I don't think you somehow "ruined" your ability to respond to it.I'm surprised that you don't have a serotonin reuptake inhibitor in there. How about Nardil? Do you react badly to these drugs? Have you ever tried adding vitamin B6 (or P-5-P)?
