Generic KeppraXR
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Because of an insurance issue I have to either switch from name brand KeppraXR to the generic or switch my drug. I was curious how many have had a good experience while taking the generic version of KeppraXR

My son's neurologist for the past year prescribes brand name Keppra only. I had to ask but he admitted generic Keppra was less effective. It makes no sense that generic would be prescribed when the result would be suffering from having a seizure.

Jamie - how did the change to generic xr work for you? My daughter is 25 and her insurance is requiring her to switch to generic also. Needless to say, she is pretty stressed about the switch, as am I. Hoping that it has worked well for you. Lord knows it would save a ton of money.

I am on Lamictal they tried adding keppra I also got"keppra rage".and bad depression. I had to get off.. that was really hard. My advice is make sure family gives you feedback if your mood changes. everyone is different. I hope it works for you😊
