Regardless of what anyone tells you many people have different reactions to the generic lamictal-i am a psychologist who works with 2 psychiatrists and my clients are always complaining-what our shrinks say is to stop taking the meds until they see the psychiatrists or go directly to an er-this way you have to be evaluated before they can discharge you-I have seen clients seize from the change and have other uncomfortable experiences-you also have to remember that when you first take any meds even if it is a change to generic you may experience a short time of discomfort-You know your body -dont be "minimized"by someone if things dont feel right-good luck!!!!!Als if your doc is not availabe someone has to be covering!-your doctor remember can request an overide from the ins company it may cost you a few bucks but at least it will work!!!!Also make sure you are taking your essential fatty acids which help in the absorption of your meds-
