Hi all. Two weeks ago I noticed that I was going to run out of Lamictal pretty quickly, which surprised me because I'm not going to see my doctor until October 14th and he usually gives me enough to last until then. I ordered a refill before I ran out, but it's been a week and it still hasn't gotten here.
It's now day three since I've been off my meds. I had one minor episode. I feel disconnected, like someone else is controlling me. However, I am constantly dizzy and nauseous. I can barely get out of bed. I also feel tired after almost 13 hours of sleep and could easily go for more. I feel really warm all the time and can't focus very well.
Is there anything I can do to lessen the effects? I can't contact my doctor. USPS is really slow and hopefully the pills will be here Monday. And, when I do get my pills back, should I immediately start at 100mg again or do I need to work up to it all over again?
Thanks.
