Therefore, here I am with no Lamictal for last night and tonight. I'm trying not to panic from anticipating a severe reaction from stopping the med abruptly. But there's nothing I can do. So far, I feel okay. If I don't have a reaction I'm seriously considering stopping the Lamictal and see how I do. I'm on a fairly low dose and I'm not convinced it's doing anything helpful. It definitely doesn't alleviate depression and anxiety. It does, however, cause me to feel flat and dull.

I'm sorry there is a hold up on your meds being refilled. The reason its bad to go cold turkey off Lamictal is because its a seizure med actually. You should be ok for a few days.. Most providers are off 3-5 days is okay, but if off longer then its best to titrate back up. Call tomorrow and let them know you are totally out. Shame on your provider for not handling this ASAP. Do you know when you will be set up with new Pdoc/ NP ?? I hope its soon
