> This is how people get hurt. CHECK YOUR DRUGS people. Ellie started a new med (Lamactil). It's supposed to be titrated VERY slowly because it has a potentially serious side-effect called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. She works up from 2.5mg to 7.5mg (twice a day) over the course of 6 weeks. The pharmacist gave me two bottles of the drug by mistake. one 5mg tablets and one for 25mg tablets. At NO POINT does she ever get to 25mg, ever!
> Imagine if I had given her one and a half tablets of the wrong dosage.
