I was suprised when I got the phone call today and they told me they were putting this on report as well as letting my Epi know what's going on.
I certainly hope that none of you have the same problems as I have had on the drug. I'm greatful I will be seeing my Epi next Monday to get off the drug and then hopefully the sz. will reduce. I've had over 100 more sz. this yr. at this date compared to last yr.
Here's wishing All of You Well and May God Bless You!

I've been eplictic since I was 3 years old. I've been on brand my whole life. I've been on Keppra for a while. I've been seizure free for 11 years. My husband health insurnace is going up next month I pay $60 for 3 months supply next month it will go up $100 every 3 months I was thinking about going generic keppra. It will be $20 every 3 months. I'm not sure about the genric of keppra. After I read your post that scares me even more. Have you went back to the brand. It sounds like it is not worth it I do drive and I don't want to loose my job. Please get back with me. Thank you.
