Hi Rosegirl
I've been having this same problem. You see I have been taken lamictal, vimpat, and serquel. All name brand. I've been doing good. Except one of my insurance has been giving me problems paying for two of them in the name brand which is lamictal, and vimpat. so I had to start taken the generic in these two. It seems like when this change was made my sex drive has deminished. I have talked to my docs about this but they say that the generic is just the same as the name brand. Except that my sister read up on the difference between the two, and found out that the generic is got a 80% to 125% difference between the two. I'm wondering if this is what's causing the problem, or if it's my hormones and meds combined. I would really appreciate feedback on this thank you.
