Re: [epilepsy] Regular Lamictal vs genetic Lamictal

 

Doris,

Your doctor is 100% correct and I wouldn't suggest the switch!
Julia was on generic then we got switched from one generic to another
and her seizures got worse. Then we got switched back to our original
generic and seizures got better. This is when I demanded a script
from Julia's neuro that stated "no generics." I simply didn't think
that the brand of drug should be a factor in Julia's care.
