I still haven't heard a good reason for Americans paying three times more for meds than Canadians; this seems like some type of a scam.
Freeheeler. Yeah I am on lamictal. The generic is lamotrigine, or something. Not available in US becaus drug companies are allowed a stupid policy. The fda allows the a specific time period where their compunded drug is protected under trademark. After a few years other companies are allowed to manufacture a generic. It is frickin retarded. Other countries don't have this problem because they have universal health care. And as we all know, the government doesn't like to pay full price for anything like the rest of us. Believe me. If the US gov't had to foot the bill you can believe generics would be readily available. God I am bitchy today. OOOOPS
Seroquel generic name is; Quetiapine Fumarate.
Double check the generic for Depakote. Check on Crazymeds.org. It will explain the difference in V acid and the sodium. There is a difference on how it gets to your brain. And how hard it is on your liver.
They all read very scary as it is.
