chessy22 · #1 Jul 14, 2009, 11:25 AM

I accidental took 2 doees of my medication this Am.
I take 500 mgs of lamictal and 300 of wellbutrin for Bipolar II.

Meaning I ended up taking 1000 mgs of lamictal and 600mgs if wellbutrin.
I can't think clearly, have double vison and walk like druck.
That was at 6am and then 8am.

I will take any of your advise. Thank you for your kindness & help in advance!

I remember the feelings on Lamictal,the slow increase in doses and the terrible withdraws,I associated the withdraws to heroin,,that bad.

I have been around in the bi-polar world,diagnosed around 15 years ago,or so.Have been on just about every med available for the disorder and remember most of the side effects.

I still go from isolation to out going with some frequency,but for the most part I am considered stable.

As you learn this site you'll be able to navigate around and look into others responses and feedback,maybe we can chat when your ready.

Kind of floating in between them.

My meds today are what I was on for many years,Zoloft and Depakote,although I am having problems with sleep(a little)and sometimes have to take Sonata or Ambien for the sleep problem(also given Trazodone to assist if either sleep med doesn't work well enough,,lots of meds to put on my table every night.
