In what way did you "flip out"?
Are you an elephant? You are taking enough drugs at high enough dosages to knock one out! I won't try to evaluate your treatment regime at this point, but it is very aggressive.
What is your diagnoses?
Lamotrigine (Lamictal) dosing should be titrated according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This will help prevent a rash-reaction or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), which is a relatively rare occurrence.
For Bipolar Disorder:
The following titration schedule is valid for patients who are NOT taking carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, or valproate. With these drugs, adjustments in the dosage of lamotrigine is required. Oxcarbazepine and Topiramate are okay without making adjustments.
25 mg/day x 2 weeks
50 mg/day x 2 weeks
100 mg/day x 1 week
200 mg/day...
300 mg/day if necessary
