Is there a difference between brand name medicine and generic medicine? Has anyone taken extended release medicine?

There is a difference between brand name and generic medicine. And it depends on how your seizures effect you. For some of us, depending on the medication, generic works fine. But for others only brand name will do.

Majority of the time, brand name meds work better than generics. A lot of times Insurances wont accept the brand name and the next alternative is the generic.
