My whole family would laugh at this one. I ranted and raved about the phase out of Teva. I called the company 4 to 5 times. I spoke to many Pharmacist about the phase out. I read the newspapers about Teva's financial problems. I thought I was doomed because I failed Zydus and Torrent's Lamical in the past. I actually got the list of all the Lamical manufactures and found out all the excipients in them. I tried the Lamictal closes to Teva's excipients and furthest from the Zydus and Torrent's excipients.
But something happened strangely. I stopped all coffee, went to all fish diet, adjust my sleep 2 years ago. I tried tried an old Torrent bottle and it didn't work. The pharmacist though it was too old. She said she had never heard of a patient complaint about a non Teva Lamical. But then I read people were having luck with Cipla on a seizure website. I tried Cipla and it worked. Then I challenged myself to trying Zydus and Torrent with a fresh bottle, and they worked.
So I think it was the coffee, no sleep and no omega III diet that was making the non Teva brands not work. It's not sound science, but this is all I can thing of.
And with other lamictal brand now working, I wonder if I retried an SSRI or SNRI, if they would work!
Thanks for the great post. Hope you search for lamictal goes well. I would vote for Cipla.
