I have been reading about how the switch from Lamictal to generic lamotrigine has affected people with epilepsy, causing them to have seizures again, and now I'm wondering if they have had any adverse effects on those of us who use it as a mood stabiliser. Has anyone here experienced any differences? Any unpleasant side effects that did not occur whilst on Lamictal, or a worsening in mood?

I am asking because I have recently increased my dose and was for the first time prescribed 200mg tablets, and when I picked them up yesterday they gave me Lamotrigine Teva, which I have never been given before. The packet leaflet, unlike the one that comes with Lamictal, says nothing about it being used for bipolar disorder. This bothers me as well.

Maybe I just worry too much.
