Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Taking 800mg total of Lamictal at once will likely not harm you if it only happens once. If you develop a rash, you need to visit an ER immediately. If you experience any abdominal pain, you need to visit an ER immediately. Otherwise, you should be safe.
