Lamotrigine ER vs Lamotrigine Time Released

Tue, 08/02/2016 - 21:12
My doctor recently switched me from Time Released to Extended Release. He's a new neurologist and we didn't discuss the change, but I think the ER is just what's more common. Has anyone had any weird side effects or more seizures when they switched? I know when I switched from brand name to generic I had a couple of seizures. I guess my body has gotten used to it though. I'm afraid I am sensitive to this stuff and I don't want to have more seizures.
