What happens if i accidentally took 2 doses of lamotrigine? i normally take 200 mg once a day but forgot i had already took my dose and took it again. thats a total of 400 mg?

The total dose may not be harmful however it is best to device a means of not repeating that in the future by using a pill counter or container that has just what you have to take and to take it about the same time everyday so you remember it as a habit. If you do not feel abnormal like having adverse reaction you are likely okay.

Not uncommon to make minor mistakes while taking chronic medication. Would proceed to retake your medication according to designed BID schedule. An easier way to take your medication is by using a once daily ER form. Request this from your doctor.
