Get a lamotrigine (Lamictal) prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

At Maple, we proudly prioritize privacy as a cornerstone of our virtual care services. We strictly adhere to privacy and healthcare legislation in Canada, such as PIPEDA and PHIPA regulations, to ensure patients' personal and health information remains completely private and safeguarded.

Our policies and consent processes are designed to be simple and easily understood, empowering individuals with control and a clear understanding of their healthcare journey. When using our services, a patient’s session is protected by a comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies.

Patients also retain full control of their personal health information, medical records and test results at all times. Our approach is reinforced by consultations with leading experts, guaranteeing comprehensive policy frameworks that are reviewed at a regular cadence.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Lamotrigine (Lamictal) is a medication belonging to the anticonvulsant or antiepileptic family of drugs. A lamotrigine prescription works by slowing down electrical signals from the brain which trigger seizures. It’s also believed to help balance the natural chemicals within the brain.

Most commonly, a Lamictal prescription is used to help control and prevent seizures.

As well, in some cases, a lamotrigine prescription can be given to help reduce extreme mood swings in adults with bipolar disorder.

A Lamictal prescription is available as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, a chewable tablet or as a dissolvable tablet. All of these are to be taken orally. 

Instructions for consumption will be provided with your prescription, but all tablet forms can be taken with or without food. Only use whole tablets and never take more than your prescribed dosage, as it could increase your risks of negative side effects.

This medication dosage will need to be increased slowly over a period of time, and it could take months to find a dosage that is most effective for your needs. 

Common side effects from taking a Lamictal prescription include:

• Changes in coordination
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Skin rash
• Difficulty sleeping
• Weight gain
• Nasal congestion

These aren’t a cause for alarm, but your doctor should be notified if they persist.

This drug is not approved for use in children under the age of 2, because it severely increases their risks of negative side effects.

Talk to your doctor before starting a Lamictal prescription if you’ve ever experienced:

• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• A heart rhythm disorder

These conditions could increase your risk of experiencing negative side effects while taking a lamotrigine prescription.

Because this medication can cause dizziness or drowsiness, those who are performing tasks that require alertness (driving, operating machinery) shouldn’t use Lamictal. Drinking alcohol or using cannabis while taking this medication will also increase these symptoms.
