Oh lord, my friends. I was soooo physically ill yesterday. It was horrible.

My dr upped my lamictal to 400mg just to help me get through this difficult time. Well I took the 200mg in the am on Saturday and Sunday no problem, but yesterday! I took the 200mg before I went to work and by the time I got there I was having double vision and I couldn’t walk steadily at all. A fellow teacher saw me just standing there against my car and got the nurse for me. Thankfully I had seen a post on here not too long ago that mentioned taking too much lamictal by accident and I specifically remember double vision so I told the nurse I was sure that’s what it was and if I could just sit down for an hour or two I’d be fine. Obviously it’s not like I could drive home anyway. So she walked me into my classroom and got someone to cover my remote student because I couldn’t look at a computer screen.

The double vision did diminish pretty quickly but I had an intense nausea and dizziness the entire day. I couldn’t even sit up in my chair because I was afraid I was going to throw up. I basically sat there like a useless lump all day (but hey, I was there so I got my hours!). By the time 3:30 came around I had already called RS and told him he needed to come pick me up. He did and he had to walk me in the house to bed. I literally could not move my head at all or I would feel intense nausea. I had to put on my pjs in steps! It finally died down around 10:30pm so I decided to get up and eat some food and drink some water.

This morning I was fine but I did NOT take my morning dose of lamictal. I have a call in to my dr, hopefully she will call me back. I don’t understand! I guess I went up too fast? I went from 200mg to 300mg no problem. It’s possible I took the wrong dose Sunday night but I really don’t think so. All I know is I’m not taking that **** again until she can give me some guidance. Something went seriously wrong!
