Next question I am going to ask doc is : ok if I start on brand do not switch to generic as the
bioavailability and other results are just not there. BUT what should I start and have only experienced
generic. So much to learn and understand, our brain is not easy to understand that is for sure. Takes a lot
of learning and understanding. If one kind is controlling ok do not change. (my way of thinking :)) If need or
want to go from brand - generic because of the $ value....make sure you look into at all the side effects.
Best to do everything in your power to stay on the Brand.

Doris,
Your doctor is 100% correct and I wouldn't suggest the switch!
Julia was on generic then we got switched from one generic to another
and her seizures got worse. Then we got switched back to our original
generic and seizures got better. This is when I demanded a script
from Julia's neuro that stated "no generics." I simply didn't think
that the brand of drug should be a factor in Julia's care.
