The FDA approved an extended release version of Lamictal for once daily dosing on June 1, 2009. I think someone here already mentioned it.
I know there are going to be some people who will say that this is no more than a patent extender. However, I think you will find droves of people who say differently after having migrating from Welbutrin IR to SR to XL.
As for me, I am hoping that my insurance company will cover the Lamictal XL if the script is written for that specifically.
Does anyone have an idea as to how long it will take for pharmacies to get Lamictal XL?
Right now, I am taking the Mylan generic version of lamotrigine at 500mg a day. I had been fine on the name brand GSK Lamictal at 200mg a day. Even at 500mg, I am still short of feeling well on the generic.
