What Is The Alternative Because I Go Into Withdrawal If Lamotrigine 75mg Is Not Taken?

I am on lamotrigine 75 mg but have ran out. I have an appointment with my Dr. at the end of the week but need to know the half-life because I go into withdrawal without this. I am bipolar and also have major depression and seasonal affective disorder

Typically, lamotrigine is prescribed 1-2x/day. If you simply stick to your doctor's dosing instructions you'll be just fine.
