I forgot to take my lamictal last night and now will have to wait until this evening to take it. I have skipped prozac doses but that has a long life, but I am worried about missing lamictal...
anyone done this or have advise???Thanks

Time will tell...
Anyway, if it was just one dose missed, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Lamictal has an average half-life of 32.8 hours, it has a somewhat long half-life.

I guess I don't know enough about it to ask this question, but why can't you just go ahead and take it now?
Why do you have to wait until this evening?
What is your dosage?

I wouldn't worry about it. I've done it before, with no ill effects. Even going off before, no withdrawal. Hopefully you experience the same thing.
