I think it is likely that the AD have kind of taken over without the MS overnight. Do you think that this is possible? Are any of you this sensitive to one medication error? Haven't experienced this before so I just want to know if it is normal or not.

Hi BluePoppy,
I missed my Lamictal last week (one day-the first time, too) and I had the absolute worst headache. I also notices some visual "strangeness" (like the "oasis" kinda thing you see sometimes driving- the streetlights on the road I was driving on looked kind of hazy like that. I also felt weird. Almost like I was stoned or something. I only take 25 mg of Lamictal and 200 of Seroquel. The headache was the worst part for me.
