That is scary. I actually wondered if I made that mistake last night, because I could not remember if I took my evening dose of Lamictal. I have to be super careful with Lamictal, because I am already on such a high dose, so I was panicking about whether I doubled up or not. I don't think I did though. I noticed a headache, but it could have been unrelated. I did check with a pharmacist once before about what would happen if I accidentally doubled my dose. They said I might feel the side effects more intensely, but they told me it would be rare to have such a bad reaction from them, but I still worry.

I can relate to being so nervous about doing that. These meds are risky. Now, I try to just skip a pill if I'm not sure, but I still sometimes take it and later second-guess myself. I need to get better at keeping track, although most of the time, I'm alright I guess.

I am glad that you are okay.

It's scary to do that. A few years ago I was on pain pills after surgery and woke up and instead of my AM meds I took my PM meds. Which included 1200 mg of Seroquel, so I took 2400 mg in 12 hours along with my other meds which were at lower doses (I did also take 4 mg of klonopin at once too but that's not as bad as the Seroquel). I called my pdoc's office and had to talk to a pdoc I'd never met and promise it wasn't a (pathetic) attempt at an OD and instead was just stupid, all the while getting more and more sleepy (I think it took 15-30 minutes to be sound asleep).

I slept for about 36 hours off and on, mostly on, and remember nothing of those 2 days.

Really scary.

I switched to blister packs so i cant double up. I can forget forget them though.
