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.

> Diag. MDD (treatment resistant) GAD & PMDDHi ihd,
I hope you're feeling better. I'm actually responding because I saw in your dx that you have PMDD. I was never officially diagnosed with it, but I know I have it and my pdoc has been addressing the issue. He wants me to titrate up on my Lexapro for a week or so during my cycle when my PMS starts. How do you deal with it? Have you had any luck?
Thanks,
Bryn
