Not from missing one dose. You need to take your dose as soon as you realize you have forgotten to take it. Lamictal needs to be taken about the same everyday to keep your level equal in your body.

How many people use lamictal?
How many people take it? I can say that without a shred of doubt, at least ONE person does take it. I have been taking 300mgs of Lamictal once a day for 10 years due to a seizure disorder. It's quite honestly, one of the best anti-seizure drugs I've been prescribed.
Is lamictal a narcotic?
(I am not a doctor) I have been taking 300mgs of Lamictal once a day for 10 years due to a seizure disorder and to my knowledge it is most definitely not a narcotic. As with all prescription drugs, it is of course a "controlled substance". edit: July 2011 It is considered a narcotic by Japan and if you travel to Japan you need a special license to carry it into Japan. Even if it is only for your own personal use.
Is it safe to take vicoden with lamictal?
(I am not a doctor) I have been taking 300mgs of Lamictal once a day for 10 years due to a seizure disorder and in that time I have been prescribed vicodin for a few dental issues. I noticed no adverse effects. It may be only subjective, but I did notice that it wasn't as effective as ibuprofen. So it is possible that Lamictal may reduce the effectiveness of vicodin. But as with any drug you are unsure about, always consider what other medications you are currently prescribed.

Can you take diphenhydramine and melatonin together?
(I am not a doctor) I have been taking 300mgs of Lamictal once a day for 10 years due to a seizure disorder and in that time I have taken Benadryl for seasonal allergies. I noticed no adverse effects. It may be only subjective, but it is possible that Lamictal could reduce the effectiveness of Benadryl, but I never noticed any other kind of contraindication. But as with any drug you are unsure about, always consider what other medications you are currently prescribed.
Why do seizures need to be medicated?
There are a few ways you can look at that question, like whether all people who have epilepsy need to be on medication or whether medication is needed when a seizure happens. Most people with epilepsy are on medication. Epilepsy comes in such a wide variety of types and severity, that there are all sorts of medications and dosages and each individual person is different, so there is not one standard approach. Some people have very mild seizures and may not be on any medication. Others could have very severe seizures and need a lot of medication. Those that are on medication for epilepsy normally take their medication a set amount of times a day, not at the time they have a seizure. Their medication is designed to control seizures, meaning it should at least reduce if not eliminate seizures. Once a seizure starts, there is nothing that can be done to stop it. However, some seizures are extremely mild, lasting just seconds, with only the person that has had it knowing that something has happened, so there is no need for any assistance. Giving someone medication during a seizure is not going to stop it and in many cases it would be difficult to get someone to take medication when they are having a seizure anyway. Only in the most extreme cases, would medical intervention be needed, like if someone was going from one seizure into another for a long period of time, like for 20 minutes or half an hour. Then it would be advisable to call an ambulance. That is something that is very rare. For the majority of people, they will have a seizure and recover soon afterwards, and if you called an ambulance immediately the seizure started, they might be fine or at least well on the way to recovery by the time it arrives, so there would be no need for the ambulance. People seeing someone having a seizure and not knowing what it is tend to panic and call an ambulance, but usually it is not needed. People do get brought to hospital in those cases, just because an ambulance has come and on a precautionary basis, but are usually discharged very soon afterwards, as they have recovered by then. A seizure may only last for a few minutes, so usually there is no medical assistance needed and it is not of any help to the person as they would recover themselves anyway. There is normally no need to give them medication after a seizure either. The person will just follow their normal pattern of when they take their medication. So if someone is having a seizure, all you can do is be there for them, make sure they are OK and comfortable. That is more than sufficient treatment for the vast majority of seizures.
Can you take ambien and NyQuil at the same time and lamictal?
I take Lexapro and Lamictal daily and occasionally use Ambien to help me sleep. I have been sick lately and NyQuil is my preferred cold and flu OTC medication. I have taken both simultaneously, however, I halved my Ambien dose (10mg to 5mg) just to be more on the safe side. I think it really depends on how Ambien effects you. Some people are really hit hard by it, others (such as myself) can tolerate it pretty well. If it effects you a lot you should probably either reduce the dosage when mixing with NyQuil or try and just let the NyQuil put you to sleep. Just be responsible and you'll be fine. Best..
Why do you have to prevent injury in seizure patient?
A patient prone to seizures cannot protect themselves. A seizure causes falls. Once the seizure is underway, the patient needs (primarily) the head and airway protected. Seizure patients may also inhale saliva or vomit, which can then impair breathing.

Can lamictal test as a false positive for pcp?
Yes! Lamictal will show a false positive on drug screens. You can have a lab use a maspectrometer specifically for PCP in order to officially rule it as a "false positive."
