> I'm just saying it's important to consider the brand of generic meds you're taking in particular lamictal. The most common (and best) generic for Lamictal was discontinued by Teva in July. Many people suddenly having major problems when they didn't realize their pharmacy switched them to another brand or that a different brand could have vastly different effects. I'm not sure why Lamictal has so many "bad" generics but if you read through this thread you'll see many people had issues when they had to switch from Teva to another brand: https://www.medschat.com/Discuss/What-Is-The-Best-Generic-Of-Lamictal-244558_p4.htm

>Oh, good point--I'd forgotten that people were having trouble with the lamictal generics. You do want to keep everything as close as possible to what you took before esp. if you are retrying a med or in a crisis situation. Thanks for pointing that out.
