I can’t believe that this keeps happening to me. I have my medications box and I know to take my meds – I take Lamictal- every morning and every night. And yet I sometimes forgot. My mom says I need a checklist right next to the sink or something like that.<\/p>\n
I used to be able to miss a dose and just take a normal dose at night, but after three years of taking the Lamictal, even one missed dose causes painful withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n
I am a work in progress and will just keep finding ways to make sure my meds are taken on time, every day.<\/p>\n

FYI: Lamictal- also known as Lamotrigine- is an anticonvulsant drug that’s used to treat epilepsy. Like other anticonvulsants such as Depakote and Tegretol, it was found to have excellent mood stabilizing effects. Lamictal is for depression and rapid cycling. It’s not used as an anti mania drug. Depakote, Tegretol and Lithium are anti mania drugs. People with a lot of mania may take one of these and then add Lamictal. If you haven’t tried Lamictal, talk with your health care professional. It changed my life for the better. That’s for sure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
