My daughter is on 300 of lamictal she is 19 years old. Presently she has a strep throat infection and has fever.she is on antibiotics now. She missed her dose of Lamictal and says she will only take it when she starts feeling better. she states that she can take Lamictal when she feels she needs it, and can miss days if she wishes without negative effects. She claims that this is what the Psychiatrist told her. I don t think she is right and want to give her the facts before she messes up her body chemistry. She has a serious case of Bipolar Disorder which is more to the depressive side and less to the manic. Why is she saying these things when she is intelligent and wants to be ok? Are there different views on this medication?
