I usually take 3 tablets of Lamictal 100mg in the evening and 2 tablets in the morning. I was on 3 tablets twice a day but it was too much. It made me too groggy. So I went to taking 3 at night and 2 in the morning.
Now after the seizure I added another half tablet to make it 2 and 1/2 in the morning and 3 at night. I felt like I was "drunk" all day. I could not drive. Caffeine from coffee and tea helped.
That's all I can think of for now.

Did you get in to see your doctor already? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteHe's supposed to call me back. Otherwise I have an appointment for Wednesday.
DeleteWatch the caffeine until you know how your body will react to it. Check with your doctor. I wish all the best for you and hope it is a single incident.
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma. I've had a few of these and I hope this will be the last one.
DeleteDo be careful, John. I would recommend you see your doctor and bring this to his or her's attention. Please be careful changing the amount of medication on your own. This could be dangerous. My prayers are with you~
ReplyDeleteI was so tired from taking the extra medication that it felt like I slept half the day away.
DeleteNow I'm back on my usual dose.
Do be careful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha.
DeleteThinking of you.
ReplyDeleteWill you be checking things out with your Doctor / Neurologist soon?
Do please take care
All the best Jan
Wednesday I have an appointment.
DeleteI expect you and your doctor will work it out.
ReplyDeleteTake care and just sleep if you have too.
Thank you Margaret.
