I'm not sure where to post this, but it concerns a common drug used for bipolar disorder (which I may have, but am not taking this for).
My new neurologist put me on Lamictal for nocturnal seizures, and gave me instructions of taking 25mg for 2 weeks, then twice daily for 2 weeks, and increase from there (from 25mg to 200mg in 6 weeks).

I was afraid to have another seizure in my sleep, as they cause me a lot of pain, so I looked up online if others have started at a higher dose, and some say they started at 100mg a day without issues.

So I stupidly and impatiently decided to bump up from 25mg to 100mg a day after taking it a day or two, then a week later (yesterday) I increased it to 150mg a day (basically skipping the first 4 weeks of my instructions in a period of a couple days, and following the increase instructions from then on of increasing another 50mg after a week being on 100mg).

I'm not sure what to do now... if anything bad that may happen would have already happened by now (like Stevens Johnsons Syndrome) from starting at 100mg instead of 25mg, then increasing to 150mg a week later.

I'm kind of weary of contacting my neurologist, as I don't want to get kicked from his supervision for doing this, and since I'm already at this level, I'm not sure going back down would be a good move either, or if I should be worried - if the odds of SSJ or any other issues are that much higher from starting at such a dose.

I think I'll go to the pharmacist and explain I was confused, and ask their experience on the medication, but I probably just have to suck it up and contact my neurologist as well, although I can't do so until the weekend's over, and even then I'm not sure how long it would take for them to get back to me.

I realize my mistake, and have to take control of this impatient irrational side of me, although now that I'm in the middle of my screw up - I would appreciate any input, thanks.
