I am so nervous. I missed my dose at 8 a.m. and cannot get ahold of my doctor. I take 500 mg of Depakote and 200 mg of Lamictal at 8am. and my next dose of 1000 mg of Depakote and 200 mg of Lamictal is at 8p.m. Should I take it or wait till tomorrow morning?
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I think it would be fine if you still took your evening pills. If you’re up a little later past 8pm then you might wait till 9pm or 10pm & that way it be 5 to 6 hours since your last dose instead of 4 hours & so close together. But it should be fine to take it. We’ve been eating lunch out this week & I’d planned to take my pills when I got home after I had some food in me & one night I forgot & another night I didn’t remember till early evening & so I took & took my night meds late at night since I go to bed real late. So relax, go ahead & take your pills. If it helps any, I’m on Depakote & Vimpat. Sending Thoughts, Hugs, Smiles & Prayers. Your friend in Texas, Becky
Thanks everyone for all your help. I took it a little later last night and regular dose this morning. I feel fine. Thanks again! 😘
There are times I have forgot to take my am and pm pills. I take them before bed and when I wake up. I figure 400mg Lamictol 2x daily will not hurt me.
Depends on the dosage and how often you take it
Thank you so much!! I did just that. I waited till 9:00 p.m. I love this site. You are so helpful. I am so relieved. THANK YOU!!
