Wow… I must say that was quite a rush in dose change. Since my pdoc put me on lamictal I have had to have blood work every two weeks as my dosage went up. Your lamicatal blood level should be between 1.5 to 15 and if it’s above 15 it can be very damaging to your liver so depending on how your body is absorbing it and breaking it down you may be pushing that level without even knowing it.

What they told me was that Stevens Johnsons Syndrome can happen anytime but if you haven’t had it in the first 6 weeks chances are in your favor of not getting it, but it can still happen so keep a vigilant eye out for it. Also, just like DragonFly2 stated, it can cause manic episodes in a bipolar patient so that’s also something to watch and monitor because that can bring a new set of problems.

I think seeing a pharmacist is a must at this point until you see your neurologist, which is unavoidable now and ASAP. If they do not know what you did then they cannot continue with your treatment correctly since they will still believe you are on the lower dosage. I believe it’s time to just own up and admit your error that way you both can work on properly treating your seizures.

Good luck and I hope it all works out for you
