It sure can.
I care about you, sweetie.

And remember that so many of us have been there and understand that it can be so very hard, so know that you have a lot of empathetic folks here who are more than willing to help see you through this.
I'm so glad you can see your T tomorrow. Agree with all the above posters on how the T might be able to help in the process with the P. Also, have you put on to be on a cancellation list with the P? Never hurts to do that too. Phone them, talk to them, don't take no for an answer. And if that doesn't work out for whatever reason, don't hesitate to go to the ER. Stay safe. Don't worry (if this is in any way a concern for you) about the timing with that T being "just" tomorrow if you feel you can't ride it out till then, ok? Staying safe is the very most important thing.
(I was surprised to read about strict instructions to remain only on the Lamictal for 3 months at 100 mg. Huh. My P titrated me up to 200 mg right from the start. My current NMHNP upped it to 300 a couple of months ago, and just today suggested we might try 400 mg (think I've read that as pretty much the maximum therapeutic dose). We're going to wait on that though. Still, 3 months at 100. Again, huh. Everyone's different of course, I just found that curious.)
Tomorrow, yea! Meanwhile,

Know it's not the same as real life ones, but know that they are very sincerely given.
