> I mean take SLS. Ok so he relapsed when he switched to generic lamotrigine. No offense SLS, but you are relapsing all the time, drug change or no drug change.
I am somewhat offended. It is insulting to summarily invalidate my observations simply because I am not in full remission. I do have a stable partial response right now that depends on the effectiveness of lamotrigine. This improvement was lost once I began taking generics; the worsening persisting for the entire two months that I took them. I recovered within days of returning to GSK Lamictal. My doctor has been collecting Teva lamotrigine pill bottles from his patients who have relapsed on it. It is quite a collection. I don't think Teva is necessarily a bad generic drug company, but this particular preparation is inferior to GSK Lamictal.
By the way, after doing some reading, I think 300mg of lithium is probably ideal for what I want to accomplish.
