Avatar n tn I went from taking nothing to taking Klonipin 1mg 3-4x/day, Inderal 10mg 3x/day, and Lamictal. I got up to 150mg of the Lamictal after 7weeks. I had a dangerous and deadly reaction to the Lamictal. I was told to stop it suddenly. My life has been a disaster ever since. I feel I was better before I took all of this stuff. I have been suicidal due to the sudden stop of the meds. Last Saturday i tried to kill myself. I took 90mg of klonopin and about 45mg of inderal. I awoke about 6 hrs.
5204799 tn?1365456784 what is considered to be a dangerous amount of hydro to take? i currently am struggling with 12ish a day of norco 10/325. but i have taken as many as 21 in day. is there a danger of dying from that amount? or do some folks take way more than that and still be fine? i really have not considered that i might be taking enough to hurt myself in an overdose situation. if this is a stupid question i apologize, im just trying to be smart and more careful.
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone! I recently posted that I had been increased to 400 mg of Lamictal, going from 200 mg. To say that was a bad idea is an understatement! One day, out of the blue, I literally couldn't use my legs! My brain would say walk but the message did not register in my legs. Trouble is, it wouldn't last all day so the first time I thought, well maybe, I had been given too much anthesia when I had dental surgery, so I shrugged it off.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if any women who are taking Lamictal have experienced facial hair growth?
Avatar f tn when we are off these drugs for a week or longer, and our bodies have already detoxed and begun functioning without it, the possiblity of having an overdose is very high. An overdose from vicodin feels like your throat is closing, your heart beats really fast and it is hard to breath. It is the worst feeling in the world. My experience was light compared to what i heard could have happened from opiate overdose. People end up in comas and can die.
Avatar m tn Due to his illness I want to make sure that when I count his pills that he will not take to much. I would like to know if anyone knows what the fatal amount of 10mg Oxycontin would be fatal. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn All I can tell you is a gram and a half could very easily be an overdose amount. If you had taken that amount any other way besides snorting - you wouldn't be able to get on the computer right now... If you have any respiratory or heart problems though - get medical help and be on the safe side. If you aren't going to get medical help, the best thing you can do is get as comfortable as possible and try to relax yourself.
1540869 tn?1351214013 I cannot believe they let it get that far without taking you off. I was just on zoloft and clonazapam and i just got switched to buspar and lamictal . I'm taking it for depression and bipolar . But if i have any problems with my balance or remembering things i will get off of it immediately . It would be awesome if they could make just 1 medication that didn't have any side effects wouldn't it?
Avatar m tn Can someone give me either the symptoms or the timeline for an Ibuprofen overdose? And what's going to happen if I don't get treatment? I've taken approx. 40 200mg ibuprofen tablets, 32 hours ago.
Avatar f tn The insult leads to permanent injury or severe complications when the dosage of Acetaminophen exceeds 7,000mg in a single dose or greater than 4,000mg/24 hours over an extended period of time (6,000mg spread over 24 hours is enough to cause harm in some patients but usually it takes this amount of Acetaminophen daily for days-weeks to cause harm in most patients).
997928 tn?1252444237 I was thinking that maybe I just need to take the Lamictal and not take the celexa since the lamictal is weight neutral.. Does anyone taking Lamictal think it will work for my mood swings?
Avatar m tn Hello, We are very sorry to hear about your friend but are glad you were there for them. We want to confirm that you have called an ambulance and they have received medical care. Tylenol is toxic to the liver as you know but hopefully he will be alright. He's indeed taken a dangerous amount. Please let us know how he is doing. We wish you and your friend the best.
Avatar f tn The only reason I say that is because you have to be careful to find an even balance between both dosages to prevent the nasty rash that can occur. The Depakote increases the amount of Lamictal in the blood stream by an alarming amount; 20-30%, if I'm not mistaken. I don't say this to frighten you, the chances of actually developing the allergic reaction to Lamictal is like 1 in 50,000 people. But, it's nothing to mess around with either.
Avatar f tn So they started me on Lamictal a wk and a half ago. I feel more depressed than ever. I've taken lamictal before and it seems to help at obviously higher doses. Most of you know with Lamictal you have to start out slow. So I'm still on 25mg right now due to start 50mg in a few days. I don't know if I should contribute this(worsening depression) to the Lamictal or just say that it's not had enough time to work. What helped you all with your depression?
Avatar n tn 7,000 is considered overdose. The symptoms of overdose may not appear for over 12 hours. It is crucial that you see a doctor or get to the ER. Have you been using for long?
574118 tn?1305135284 i added seroxat 10mg no problem then i upped my lamictal to 4mg this on/off appeared. so it could be the interactivity of lamictal and seroxat. But in a different forum there was someone who takes both. now i remember, i was on 2mg lamictal then once i added seroxat it happened No i didn't post this question to IL, i am embarassed to bother him continuously. I just wish to know what was that.
Avatar m tn Since you have not indicated an amount of overdose there is no way to answer. Please call your doctor, poison hotline, etc. as soon as possible with the amount of med taken.
Avatar n tn He said Lamictal has a half live of 24 hours, meaning every 24 hours the amount of Lamictal in your sytem dissipates by one half of what was present the previous day. If that is true, wouldnt this clear up fast? Has this happened to anyone else on Lamictal?? Could it be something else? Infection? Virus? This has me worried. Any information would be most appreciated.
735919 tn?1236444549 I've been on Lamictal since October, and it's been a godsend to me. It is slow to titrate up to therapuedic levels - but it's done a world of good. I'm about 85-90% depression free all the time. The difference now is, I get down if something external happens, like regular folks do, everyone gets blue at times.
Avatar f tn i do cocaine for more then 2 years and never happend something very bad,just it happend not to feel great,minor problem with my breathing,hot,agitate,but 3 days ago i pass out i dont remenber nothing for 40 min.i just remember when i do the last line.it was a overdose?
Avatar f tn t seem to fine anywhere how long after a lethal amount or a small overdose (such as 1 accidental extra dose) on top of toxicity symptoms would start to show or when death would take place. So my question is when would symptoms begin to show and when would death occur. I don't need exact times but if toxicity showed hours after an over dose and death came days after it would give me a timeline which is all I'm looking for. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I take about 18 Lyrica a day. Please help me. I will die from overdose or severe depression. I have no one to talk to. My teenage daughters are suffering with me.
Avatar m tn Lamictal is often more effective on depression than mania although each person responds differently to each medication. Also for some people mood stabilizers can become less effective over time. As I remember from taking Lamictal the specific dosage range can go above that amount but you'd have to ask your psychiatrist about this. The drinking can undermine the efficacy of any psychiatric medication.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed about a year ago with Epilepsy and put on Lamictal. My question is, when God willing the time comes, what is the track record with these drugs and pregnancy and breast feeding?
1108183 tn?1292416673 I just started taking Methotrexate after recently being diagnosed with RA, and have been taking Lamictal for years now for my depression. I read that both Lamictal and Methotrexate depletes your body of folic acid. My question is- If I take a multi vitamin that has 200 mgs of vitamin C and 400 mcg's of folic acid- would it be too much to take another 500 mgs of vitamin C and 800 mcgs of folic acid on top of the multi vitamin? I just want to take extra precautions from getting sick.
