TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion offers insights into finding healthcare for epilepsy in Thailand, specifically noting that international hospitals like Bangkok Hospital and Bumrungrad are capable of providing necessary treatment. Advice suggests keeping prescriptions consistent and mentions the availability of medications through online pharmacies. It also highlights that many Thai doctors have been trained in the United States, assuring quality care for expatriates.

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 ๐Ÿ™
