Missed medication help

Was in the hospital w a throat infection for 10 days. No ability to swallow- did not take Lamotrigine.

I’ve been on 200 mg for ~2 years.

When the doctor realized I hadnt been taking my meds, he said I had to start all over again at 25mg/ day. The withdrawals are starting- mood instability and such.

Yesterday I took one 200 mg tablet- and it actually helped me feel better.

I have a psych apt this week.

I am completely lost, withdrawing, scared of rash, what do I do? If I jump back into 200 mg / day, will that harm me? If I continue to *not* take the 200 mg/ day, the instability and physical discomfort continues.

Looking for help while I navigate waiting for psych apt. In addition, my jaw hurts/ feels stiff. Body aches. Just feel miserable.
