I've never had any side effects from missing 1 or 2 doses of Lamictal (at 200mg a dose).

Oh, no. I definitely did not take 600 mg daily. My daily dose is 400 mg, 200 mg in the AM, 200 mg in the PM. I have just resumed the pills as normal starting last night. Yesterday, I seemed a bit manicky. I was nauseous & had stomach issues that may or may not have been related to the skipped Lamictal. I think maybe they were not. My stomach is still off, but I can eat and drink now, just don't have much appetite. I did skip the running today though I went to the store to buy & ham & rolls for Thanksgiving.
I feel a bit more settled today, not as anxious. I slept in, probably a total of 9.5 hr. of sleep last night. Still feel a bit manicky, just not as much. The pharmacy is closed today, so I cannot ask the pharmacist. I am just going to resume the doses as normal, and if I feel wonky on Monday, I will call the pdoc (or I'll call his cell over the weekend if it's really bad).
