Hi 37IW,
I'm sorry to hear that your insurance gave you a hard time about the keppra but I'm glad to hear that things have worked out and that the keppra is working for you now. If for some reason the insurance co. gives you a hard time turn them into the state insurance agency where you are living and they will do an investigation as to why they won't cover the drug. Also get a note from your neuro stating that this drug is the only drug that has helped you control your seizures and have them send it to your ins. co. and be sure you get a copy of the note. Then the state will do an investigation that won't cost you any money and if your insurance. co. is in the wrong they will have to correct everything so you can keep getting the keppra at their cost.
I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
Sue
