I think mine is generic and I have been on it for 8 or 9 months. I have no complaints. Nothing I have noticed out of ordinary.

When I was on Lamictal I started on the name brand and then switched to the generic with no problems.

A guy I know said when he switched from Lamictal to the generic, he noticed a difference. However, I have been on both Lamictal and on the generic and I didn't notice a difference. I guess it varies from person to person.
