I’m just plain worn out!
I honestly think that switching to the generic Lamotrigine (Lamictal) has made me more tired. I know it has increased my other side effects. As I’ve said in a lot of other posts, it’s working exactly the same as Lamictal in terms of mood swings. Which is good! But I am not myself physically. I am sure this will end, but it’s definitely proof that generics are not the same as the original product in terms of the non active ingredients. If you look under the Lamictal category on the right, you can read some great discussions on what it was like for those of us who went from Lamictal to generic Lamotrigine!
I wonder who else has had trouble changing to a generic? I’m not even sure if trouble is the right word as the meds are working, but I do know we should get more information when we have to switch!

I had to stop taking the generic due to the taste. I found it worse than the brand. I could not hold down the generic. So now my dr. writes brand on my prescriptions. I don’t particulary care for the taste of the Lamictal when it starts to disolve before I am able to swallow it, however, for me, it’s not as bad as the generic.
