Re: [epilepsy] Re: Generic Keppra

Terry,

I never paid any attention to the company that made it. I thought only one
company manufactured it. I did see the commercials where people were going
to court over the generic Keppra and having seizures with it.My neurologist
must have got the same result more than once with other patients, because
he didn't want me to take it after I told him about the seizures. I figured
it was just me, hopefully it will do okay for you if you switch. Take care.
