I was diagnosed with Borderline PD and MDD, and my GP and Psychologist got me started on Lamotrigine. (I ve been taking Brintellix/Trintellix for the past month). My GP prescribed Lamictal, but my pharmacist gave me the generic, Epitec. It s been 12 days now (I take it at night), and have found that it makes me exceptionally drowsy. I m a little paranoid when it comes to medication, and was just wondering whether this effect is normal? I m currently only on 25mg, going onto 50mg in a couple of days. I m worried that with the increase, it will make the drowsiness even worse. I m also wondering whether I should have stayed with the original prescription for Lamictal instead of the Epitec... Does it make much of a difference?
