Okay. I guess I can now state with confidence that it was my switch to a generic that allowed me to relapse. I have been taking the brand name Lamictal for a few days and feel significantly better. I just hope the Mylan generic is just as good.
The drug company that manufactured the generic lamotrigine that I failed to respond to adequately was Teva.
I know people who do well on it, but...
I still wonder if the majority of problems with generics is related to absorption and bioavailability. There might even be chemical interactions between the excipients and the drug for all I know. Would making a simple dosage adjustment remedy most problems with generics?
