Q: Out of Lamictal - Also New Member

Hi everyone!

My name is Pam and I am a brand new member here.

I am hoping someone can answer my question. I am getting desperate and upset because of my current situation.

I have run out of Lamictal. I have been taking 400 mgs for several years now for my Bipolar Disorder. I am also taking 300 mgs of Effexor XR as well.

I have run out of Lamictal and won't be able to afford to pick up my prescription until next Wednesday when my check comes in. My pharmacist had already given me three days worth and he said no more that I need to get samples from the doctor.

My doctor is gone, the doctor's office is short handed and I don't know when they'll call me back to get samples.

I am in tears at this point; I know it's not good to go off of meds cold turkey but I have no choice.

What is going to happen to me until I can pick up my prescription?

Thank you.

Pam,

Try calling Mental Health Services in your area and ask them if they have any suggestions for you of where you can get some samples for free.
