Yes, I'm in the US. I'm not overly worried at the moment. This is the first day I've taken no Lamictal so far. I normally take it as soon as I get up in the morning, and it is now 5:00 p.m., and no withdrawal symptoms yet that I'm aware of (except for slight anxiety about the possibility of withdrawal symptoms) :-) I'll be able to refill the prescription on Friday, so as long as I can survive the next 48 hours or so, I should be fine...fingers crossed! Thanks for your concern. I'll keep updating.
