My doctor would like me to try this one, but with insurance it still costs $120 per month and I just can't afford it.
I seemed to work well with taking Vimpant, but with insurance is was $600 a month. Any idea of how to get it cheaper. I was exercising before [[treatment:Keppra:5508b44d6bcd6155dd0008e5]] and am weepy, felling sorry for my self.
I have called the company that makes it and have received discounts. A Patient Asst. program helps!
I would advise you to sign up for health insurance marketplace.
How is Xcopri? What are side effects?
I don't want to come off of phenobarbital
I'm happy to hear she is getting better
I paid sometimes over $800 for Vimpat!

I hope that helps. Just ask if you have any questions
All of GOD's Best.

My neurologist has me on Briviact as my primary medication, no generic of course. I call every month to refill and they always have to order... "We'll have it in 1-3 days." This month I called a week early. They still don't have it, but they will get it in tomorrow or the next day. I'm picking up 5 days worth tonight because I'm running out soon. I hate to go through another change of meds, but I think that's what I'll have to do. 😕

I’m considering moving to the US and would just like some input as to the healthcare system (costs for repeat prescriptions etc.) for those living with controlled (most of the time) seizures.
With Healthcare it all depends on whether or not you have a job that has insurance ( not all jobs carry it )or the state county insurance medical Assistant programs.

I’ve been on Carbotral since i was 8, and trokendi since i was 14-15. I was hospitalized in the past 2 weeks to study my absent seizures off all medications, because i normally have auras only when medicated, until the padt year, ive recently began having absents again also. The doctors tested one medication that was unsuccessful while i was hospitalized, before testing Vimpat over a 24 hour period, and then i was released. I’ve been out for nearly 2 weeks now, and i haven’t had any seizures… read more
I have tried 6 meds and considered vns, which is where I first heard this notion that your chances of finding a med that works even minimally drops to 4% after having tried 5 medications for seizures. My neurologist adamantly
disagreed, but I thought 30% of people with epilepsy were considered intractable.
Thanks friends
I have been taking AED meds since I was age 7 at diagnosis. Some of the older ones made by bones weaker, so I have Osteoperosis. I underwent a lot of tests after not having enough control in my early… read more
