Hi everybody,
I take about 200 or 250 of Lamictal as a mood stabilizer. Tonight I was taking it and I counted 4 as I was putting it in my mouth, but one slipped out to the side weird and I got paranoid there might have been one more pill in there. I doubt it because I counted four, but will anything bad happen to me if there happened to be an extra one in there? I think since it's just a trace amount it wouldn't do anything but I'm super scared now that I'm gonna get brain damaged and not be able to do anything enjoyable again. I keep praying to God but I don't know what to do or think. Please help? Will I be okay?
Thanks.
Hugs from:

Not certain about one extra dose? I'd guess that the four adds up to the 200/250? Will this have you considering one of those daily pill sorters? Can you call your pharmacist? Keep us posted.

A 25% rise in dose once shouldn't have any serious problems. I can't say that for sure, but similar things have happened to me. Dunno about Lamictal, but I've skipped up from 400 mg to 500 mg of clozapine, which is very strong, and I was fine. Might feel a bit uncomfortable for a while.

If you got an extra one, you will be fine.

Hey, thanks everyone. I'm still alive and I think I'll survive, lol. I feel pretty crappy though... but it's that time of month... so... yeah. It was just one extra pill if anything at all so I think it was fine. Thanks!
