Yesterday I went to my new Dr. at Bumrungrad and was told to get on Lamital (lamotrigine) and stay on it long term. It (made by GlaxoSmithKline) is a bit pricey since it is imported and will be tough on my budget. Anybody know where I can get, or order it at a good price? Supposedly it is available over the counter here but getting validation from my Dr. would be no problem of course if needed. 100 mg (my daily dose) preferred but not important. A reliable source is important, of course. Thanks!

typo corrected to: "Lamictal"

In case anybody takes this med, I finally found a source in Lopburi, where we visit often. One of the major pharmacy store there orders Lamictal from BKK for 1350 baht for 30 100mg tablets. A lot less expensive than through a hospital. It can obviously be ordered but previously other stores said must get from a hospital. Kinda like asking for directions? TiT

With expensive imports l I have several times been able to purchase in bulk direct from manufacturer or distributior, which cuts out the retailer's mark-up.
