Here is some generalized summary:

==============================

To the studies, it is of interest that a large percentage
of people who are taking Levetricetam (generic for Keppra)
have experienced increased seizures or new seizures than
being on the brand name itself.

=====================

Levetricetam users are more prone to experience more side
effects and seizures than those who are taking Keppra at
an increase titration (dosage increase).

======================

Further studies are needed to be done on the formula break-
down on Levetricetam in comparison of Keppra in diagnosing
why individuals are experiencing more seizures..... electro-
encephlaograms showing newly developed seizure(s) as a
result of a patient being placed on the generic formula.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can only wonder when FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is
going to step in and intervene on this one?


I have a doctor appointment this week and will discuss this with him.
I think I need a tad bit more though does anyone know about what the highest amount you can take per day?
Thanks!!
