Hi The pharmacy told me I had to switch to generic Keppra the dr. took my blood levals to see if there was a change since I started the Keppra I have had seizures so I called the dr, and the Pharmacy still denied my order of the real Keppra so it looks like I will be on Generic Keppra I was just wondering if any of you had the same problems cuz my state won't give me the real Keppra. some of my friends say oh, it's the same it's just that it's generic . I told them that it is different with seizure drugs but they disagree

Terry,
I can't believe they did.The pharmacy switched the Keppra to the 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.
