Hi Terry you can ask your Doc to provide you a letter stating that due to
your condition brand name drug is mandatory blah blah blah. They know the
game and how to write it. We got one when we had to get Gianna off 2
generics cause they kept switching manufacturers on us and it was bad.
Insurance accepted it and now we pay the generic rate for BRAND! Let me know
and I can email you it for reference.

Subject: [epilepsy] Switching from Keppra to generic
Hi Everyone,
Has anyone switched from the name brand Keppra to the generic form of it? I
have heard that it is not good to change to a generic if you have been
taking the name brand. Keppra has been controlling my seizures (along with
generic Dilantin). My pharmacy has tried to get me to change to the generic,
but I refused and now my copay has doubled. Thanks for any thoughts on this
subject. Take care.
Terry
