I am going back and forth with my pharmacy insurance right now about them raising the price on the brand name of one of my E drugs, and it's gotten me wondering how things work outside the US. I often see you posting the names of your meds as the generic name. Are you taking the generic version, or is the drug commonly referred to by your doctor by its generic name? For example, I may see someone referring to their lamotrigine. Has your doctor prescribed you the generic, is the brand (Lamictal) called by its generic name in your pharmacy system, or something else altogether? I know the American healthcare system is extremely expensive, but I have absolutely no knowledge of how it works in other countries.
I'm curious, so please enlighten me!
