Possibly Bad: If you are taking lamotrigine for seizure prevention, missing doses places you at risk for recurrent seizures--which could be dangerous or even deadly depending on when they occur. I would recommend setting daily alarms on your iphone to remind you to take it when scheduled, and carrying an extra tablet or two at all times. Take care, and stay healthy!

Discuss with doctor: Lamictal is not a minor drug. You need to discuss with your doctor ways of remembering because it is like playing with fire to forget and skip. Doses with a drug.like this .
