I was taking lamotrigine 200 mg twice a day (400 mg total) until January 2012. Out of stupidity I stopped taking it and suffered from a tonic-clonic seizure 3 days ago. I called my doctor's office Thursday but she wasn't available so I had to talk to another Neurologist. He told me he'll start me on Lamictal again and that he'll keep a Lamictal starter kit at the office so that I could pick it up. I went yesterday to pick it up but after I got in the car I realized it wasn't regular lamictal, it was Lamictal XR. I was too lazy to go back up to the hospital. After a bit of research I realized that Lamictal XR only goes up to 300 mg. I don't even know if that doctor talked to my neurologist before giving this to me. What do you guys think? Should I start taking it?
