I was supposed to reduce difficult child's Lamictal from 200mg to 150mg. psychiatrist thinks the Lamictal was activating him, and we were to reduce for 5 days and then reintroduce Daytrana. I really ^%$$ up. I gave him the wrong dose, I gave him too much. I gave him 300mg. I feel so stupid. I can do math, well usually. I think with fair this week and husband's medications changing and grandfather's medications changing I just was overwhelmed. I realized this last night and gave him the correct dose and fixed his medication box, but he was getting better!!! I really do not want to tell psychiatrist I did this, but feel like I have to. I would like to see if the lower dose helps, but now I don't know. This is the only place I feel I can talk about it, as husband is not stable right now so he will just wig out. I feel so incompetent. I know I am not starting the daytrana again today as planned, so I will have to let psychiatrist know why. psychiatrist wants to start the daytrana because we are seeing quite a bit of ADHD symptoms as well as the cycling.
I just feel so stupid, and grateful that difficult child is ok. He could have been harmed.
