Hi Julie,
Thanks for your reply concerning the genetic opinion. I did
buy them and took two and Friday morning before getting up, I
had a seizure. I went back to the regular Lamictal that day.
We had to go away Friday until tonight, and my husband insisted
that I change back, and I did. I do write down on calender the
days during the month that I have seizures, and they do not
follow any pattern. Thanks again for your time and opinion.
