Lamotrigine

Lamotrigine, sold as the brand name Lamictal among others, is a medication used to treat epilepsy and stabilize mood in bipolar disorder.[3] For epilepsy, this includes focal seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, and seizures in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.[3] In bipolar disorder, lamotrigine has not been shown to reliably treat acute depression; but for patients with bipolar disorder who are not currently symptomatic, it appears to be effective in reducing the risk of ...

i'm thinking of working in costa rica in a year or so.... i don't know if they have my seizure meds- lamictal, keppra xr, and topamax. they all have to be brand name, unfortunately... i can't seem to find a website that has a list for meds to countries. ## None of those drugs are controlled substances, ask your doctor (and call your insurance company) and see if you can get a year's supply prescribed at one time - most insurance companies will allow you to get a 6 month supply at one time by mail, you can try for a year - if not, have them do the 6 month supply and then have the second 6 month supply sent to your mom or someone else and have them reshipped to you in Costa Rica. ## There really is no comprehensive list available, anywhere, for what medications would be av...

Does the dose within the xr pill dispense equally over a twenty four hour period? I am concerned about daily peaks and valleys. I take dose in evening but at times due to work I'll take it a much as six hours earlier. Thanks ## Hello, Joe! How are you? Yes, that's how they are designed to work. However, the issue is that if you take one 6 hours earlier on Tuesday, then take the next on Wednesday 6 hours later, which is your regular time, you're not keeping the levels in your body consistent to prevent seizures. If you need to take it 6 hours earlier some days, due to your work schedule, then you should change the time you take it, so that you take it at the same time every day and prevent these unmediated gaps. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lamictal as possibly i...
