Always a good PSA. I had a similar problem and oddly enough with lamictal, Dr told me 2x a day and the bottle said 3. So I took 3. Not ER worthy but a week later I called to question because I started going off the rails and yeah it was too much.
Did your pill change shape or size? I get various generic differences all the time and have to double-check that it's the right drug.
Always double check if you get an unfamiliar shape or size.
It was blue when it was previously white,, but my psychiatrist had told me a week or so back that I shouldn't worry about a color change because different manufacturers have different colors and such. So, even though the pill was blue, I didn't question it much because my Dr. led me to believe it was nothing to be concerned about.
Obviously I have learned a hard lesson about paying a lot closer attention to any changes that might have happened with my drugs. It's apparently easy to overlook a major pill dosage change when no one mentions it to you. I just really don't want something like this to happen to anyone else, I was terrified the entire time.
