In reply to generic lamictal is shady.., posted by sam K on June 29, 2009, at 14:39:14
> I mean it gives me weird stuff. Im 18 and I get terrible joint pain to the point where I cant run and its real painful in my shins. And it makes me crave fatty foods. It releases the food binger in me. I guess it helps but I want to try brand name sooner or later.
I was born and raised on GSK Lamictal. However, I was recently switched over (due to a prescibing error) to generics for almost two months. Neither the Teva brand nor the Mylan brands of generic lamotrigine treated me as well as the original Lamictal. I found Teva to be better than Mylan. With Mylan, I needed to take 500mg to equal the 200mg I normally take of GSK, and I still didn't feel as well on it. Once I was switched back to the GSK brand Lamictal, I felt better, although it took about a week to fully recover.
