i abruptly stopped taking my trazodone and have yet to die...as far as the lamotrigine i can't say the same...as far as your medicaid situation is concerned, i suggest getting to your local office and getting it resolved asap...if that isn't an option, i would suggest prescription assistance programs for those type of meds...a few years ago i signed up for the program and now i receive a 3 months dose of my effexor xr 150 at no cost which now comes directly from the pharmacutical company...if neither of these options are available then you can also speak to your pharmacist and see if you will be able to get ur meds a few pills at a time rather then a 30 day supply...keep in mind that if you have to pay for your meds outta pocket or your mom/dad/guardian pays, you can get a print out at the end of the year and be reimbursed during that years tax return...good luck..i completely understand ur frustration n fear since i' went through it myself...
