Thanks, Quintal!
I'm annoyed because I'm going away and it's not the time for odd happenings.
Therapeutic is really high dose for me--i take over 675 mg/day..sometimes more. I can tell when the dose is too high because I get double vision. This just seems...different.
I'm rambling.Thanks again!
> I started off on GSK Lamictal and got refills for generic for the last three months, and I couldn't tell any difference between the two. This seems to be more of a problem for some people than others. I would wait a month to see if there is any change over the longer term. This might just be a transitionary phase if your body is getting used to a different serum level. I read a study a few years ago comparing Lamictal to a generic, and the generic was found to produce a higher blood level.
