Members confirmed that lamotrigine is the generic form of Lamictal and levetiracetam is the generic form of Keppra, directly answering the original question. Several members raised concerns about switching to generics, sharing personal experiences where generic versions caused problems, including one member whose seizures jumped from about 40 to over 300 in just two weeks after switching. A recurring theme was the importance of knowing which manufacturer makes your generic, advocating with your pharmacy or doctor, and not assuming all generic versions work the same as the brand-name drug.
