Re: [epilepsy] generic lamictal v/s No M S G 3847

 

I could have told you that generics suck and I don't have
seizures....my daughter does. They started her on generics then we
got switched to another brand and her seizures got worse. I emailed
her neuro and requested a script for "NO GENERICS"....guess what her
seizure control got better on the same dose!!! NO GENERICS FOR US!!!
