I wrote this on July 18:

I am not sure how much I increased it because I am too depressed to think: Beginning July 19, I was talking 1 1/2 pills that are labeled as 25 mgs each, which at 1.5 pills was 36 mgs. ===== This is what I took tonight. 25 mgs Lamital --- bottle says each pill is 5 mgs 1/2 half pill --bottle says pills are each 100 mgs I am guessing that I took 75 mgs !!!! Looks like I took more than I intended. M |

I'm sorry you're so down. I highlighted the 1/2 half pill part. Do you mean you took 1/2 of a half pill already broken - a 1/4 of a whole pill of 100mg? If so that is 25mg. Maybe that was a typo |

This is what the bottle of second pill says: Take 1 tablet by mouth daily at bedtime Lamotrigine 100 mg Tablet 30 tablets. ---- The 100 mgs tablet was scored. I cut the 100 in half. M |

Oh, okay, so you took a half not a quarter. I just needed to check.
Well if you took a half of 100mg (50mg) on top of 5 tablets of 5mg( 25mg) You've taken 75mg as you thought. Heck, what were you supposed to take? Is this bad?? |

These tablets are triangle and scored. It would be very difficult to cut them into quarters and be able to figure out a dosage. M |

1 the doc increased the dose all by himself --- I have been taking 50 per day for a long time-- two or three years now 2 I started getting 50 from the side effects -- increased sleepiness/hungover-ness and paresthesia and formication -- so it was necessary to decrease it two weeks ago. One day will not be so bad. But Sunday will be a lost day -- not much work accomplished that is due on Monday. M |

Oh my. What a pain, Mari. As if you don't have enough to worry about.
I wish you could find a better doctor and pharmacy set up. |
