I have a prescription for lamotrigine from both bangkok hospital and bumrungrad Hospital. They have neurology centers. So basically i just kept the same medication as i had for years. I buy a generic one from medisafe pharmacy online because my regular appointment is at the nephrology center and my insurance denied coverage when prescribed by someone other than brain specialist. Both hospitals are excellent and accept my insurance 🙏
