I know why I take each medicine that I'm on. Second full day without lamictal is ok so far
I know the results and risks of talking and not taking.
Thanks for your concern on this

Great When was your last TSH level checked? I am wondering if by going off some of your meds might affect your TSH level. Just a thought.

October was my last result I know about. Blood was drawn about two weeks ago to check for everything but the results aren't in. I keep an eye on that.
Yes. My meds do state that they affect thyroid hormones availability in medicines.

If you go 3 or more days off Lamictal you have to start titration All over a again to decrease your risk of SJS

I went two weeks without about 10 years ago because of insurance. The doctor I had then said to restart at the same dose. I don't want to restart lamictal. I'm actually calm now.

I’m happy to see you posting and taking care of yourself.

I don’t like Lamactil either. I’ve had psychiatrists tell me it’s the perfect drug for me. I don’t feel well on it, plus I get an annoying headache. I’ve tried three times.
Thanks for this!

I've been trying to get off lamictal. Down to 150 mg now. Gonna have to wait till next year though cause I don't want to mess with meds while my husband is away.
