BJ,
Like Bobi's pdoc, my old pdoc didn't like generics at all.
I've seen people complain about the generic lamictal on other places on the web. Apparently, some people are ok on it while others are not at all.
I don't think it is ok to stop taking Lamictal. Is there a risk of seizures?
I don't know but it seems like a good thing to check on -- call a pharmacist.
I've got no idea of its half life or anything. Please call someone.
It might be better to take the generic (esp if you are driving) than to take nothing at all. (But I don't know. You need to ask someone like a good pharmacist.)
And I would think that you really really need your old Lamictal. Can the pharmacy give you three days' worth until your pdoc gets back?
It seems like you need your regular Lamictal and you need it now.
Is anyone filling in for your pdoc while she is out of town???
