> Did the pharmacy/NHS give you a different generic "brand" of Lamotrigine at some point? (Re: did the pills shape/etc change?) There are lots of us who have issues w/ the various generic brands of lamotrigine and there are like 10 generic pharmaceutical companies (mostly in India/China) that source the medication. If your pharmacy ever switched you to a different maker's lamotrigine that can absolutely cause the medicine to stop working. It's very frustrating.Yes, it is too frustrating. I didnt even check at the time, because I was unaware of the problem with brands. But lamotrigine did subsequently work again for 3-4 weeks, and I made a note of the brand I had been given, and also bought some Lamictal original brand, but it made no difference, it just stopped working again.I am really desperate as no improvement seems to last.
