I've been researching and found other people complaining about the generic lamictal at other BP forums and epilepsy forums, so it's just not me. What aggravates me is they didn't even tell me and I didn't notice until I started to have symptoms. That's when I called the pharmacy and they told me the insurance company said I had to have generic or else I would have to pay the difference.

I did call the pdoc on call around 1 this afternoon but he hasn't returned my call so I emailed my pdoc. And I just called the pharmacy and they told me I can't just quit because the withdrawal is worse then the side effects.

I just don't know what to do. I didn't take it at all today for fear my mind will really wander tomorrow. If I don't do this, it will definitely be my job, and I'll lose my house, I'll lose everything.
