Ok, let me vent this out.
I know the generics and brand names are the same for some people, but thats not the case for me
Ok, so I take one lamotrigine (made by Teva) here are the effects:
*Increased pain, joint pain in the knee (a little bit), shoulder and my shin splints hurt so bad (I couldnt jog, sometimes it hurt to walk, I was somewhat handicapped, and Im only 18.
*A little bit of appetite increase, it was tolerable.
*Worked for manic/bipolar symtoms fairly well.Okay now I try Lamictal made by GSK. Brand name
*Way more increased appetite, about 5-10 pound weight gain.
*Knocked me out, put me into a daze, kind of like a drug trip almost.
*Sat in my basement for days and days.Lamotrigine by Dr. Reddys
*No shin splint pain at all, but knee pain was there alot. Ive never had knee pain ever really.
*No weight gain, appetite increase at all.
*The efficiancy was weak for my bipolar symtoms. It lacked stabilization.Now gabapentin made by Teva.
*Sped up, some anxiety, increased heart rate and some increase blood pressure.
*I talked so much, impulsive, and racing thoughts, although they were contained and managable.
*euphoriaGabapentin made by PurePac
*Tired, fatigued. A bit angry and sad. (not that bad though)
*More stabilized, calmed racing thoughts.
*No anxiety
*calming
