Re: [epilepsy] BRAND X LAMICTAL VS GENERIC LAMICTAL



There is a HUGE difference I don't take it but my daughter Julia (18
months) takes it. I see a big difference on generic Julia was having
very strong seizures that lasted 4 - 10 minutes and now they last just
as long but you can bairly tell she is having a seizure. Julia will
play, giggle and smile during a seizure.
