I don't know why. About eight months ago, I ran out of a medication I can't live without during a depression. It was a holiday weekend and I just didn't feel that I could call my doctor and bother him. I know he would have phoned it into the pharmacy but I was embarrassed at how "stupid" this was because I do it periodically. So I had four days of Hell. I figured I'd finally learned my lesson but then I did it again last week. The only saving grace was that my doctor was able to see me the day I called and my depression is over. Yikes!

If I understand your post correctly you have to wait until this coming Thursday?? I'd really be concerned about going into some sort of unpleasant withdrawal. Hope it works out.

Scary. Lamictal, my main med, for it’s seemingly innocuous lack of side affects, can also have deadly consequences if suddenly stopped. Scary.
