    Make sure you watch your doses. My Dr changed the individual lamictal MG from four 100mg, to two 200mg. No one told me, and I didn’t notice and ended up taking 800mg for a week. I ended up in the emergency room with the inability to see properly, and couldn’t keep myself standing. So yeah, I overdosed on twice the maximum dosage, which damn near killed me - all because my Dr randomly changed my prescription and no one told me about it. Maybe I should have noticed, but I had the same prescription for the last 6 years.

    So my point is, don’t be like me, make sure you read your labels. It could be your life, and a lot of pain and fear if you’re not observant.
