When my son's doctor changed his medication the pharmacy said the
insurance would only apporve the generic. The doctor, however, was
very adament about not taking the generic. The doctor had to call
the insurance company and get them to appove it. The insurance sent
me a letter a few days later that stated as long as he is on this
medication he will be able to get the name brand at the generic price.

generic a few months ago and I tried to take it for awhile, but I
always flet the auras and so I had to talk to my family doctor and he
had to get the brand name Keppra back for me. I had to call the
pharmacy I go to the other day a couple of days before to get it
preauthorized again.I am glad you didn't have no problems keeping it.
I don't like the generics, but sometimes you have to take them when
medicaid won't pay for them.Take care.

I was surprised that it was that easy. It didn't even have to go
through my doctor. Take care.
