When I was young (college), and very, very stupid, I really screwed up taking my lamictal. I was young and feeling better so I basically stopped taking it. Well then (and I’m not sure exactly how long after) I decided for unknown reasons I needed it and just took the same dose outright. I was too young and naive to consider any consequences. Well, I nearly blacked out. I started stammering down the hall and eventually fell, and every time I tried to get up, I just fell back down. 2 professors walked me, one on each arm, to the closest office where I proceeded to vomit uncontrollably until I was simply dry heaving uncontrollably. They took me to the er by ambulance where I spent the night (once I was there they gave me some good medicine that totally knocked me out but I have no idea what it was). I cost my mom and dad a stupid amount of money for no reason. I also had a milder but still miserable version of this happen early on taking the medicine when there was some dosing issue. Be very, very careful messing with this one. It can really, really mess you up!
