Brief Answer:
How much you took?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing Health care magic as your health partner.

The toxic effects of lamictal depends on the dose of intake. As I remember you took 400 mg per day which can be considered under therapeutic dose and not associated with any serious side effects.

On long term use it can cause ataxia, confusion and seizures.

Few of the patient may develop some serious side effects known as SJ syndrome or TEN syndrome.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
