[epilepsy] For those who have done so

 

In asking this question, I know that there are a wide range of
opinions. I don't want opinions, I want to know from those who have
made the attempt, how successful or not it was for them.

When I was having active seizures I was animate about not switching to
generic Tripletal since I had been on the name brand before the generic
came out. The drug was only affordable to us because part D medicare
covered, even then it was still expensive. Now, all part D medicare
providers are dropping the name brand from the formularies (the drugs
they cover). That means next year I will have to pay full retail for
the drug OUCH.

In the past I have considered switching, but was still having active
seizures. Now I need to consider this, because it will be difficult to
pay for said drug, and I do not qualify for assistance.

For those of you who have made the switch from name brand Trileptal to
generic, how did it go?
