Usually, it's better to continue the same medication which worked for you! Also, it's very important to know which brand of lamotrigine you are using. Some brands are costly!
You can always consult your Psychiatrist regarding the other brand or the generic version of lamotrigine.
If there are any doubts you can consult another Psychiatrist too!

Since lamotrigine is suiting you well and your symptoms are controlled, it is better not to switch the medicine. Instead, you can shift to a generic form of lamotrigine, which is much more affordable and works the same as the branded version.
Discuss with your psychiatrist about prescribing generic lamotrigine and check availability at local or online pharmacies.
