Be smarter than the companies that supply You medication. Use a Dr.s authority to force a company to only be allowed to provide You with Brand Name Medication.

I was on generic Keppra(levitiracetam) and it went from $12 a month to $800 randomly. This is the problem with big pharma. They are for profit, not for healing

Some pharmacys take whats called a Good RX card that helps pay for some of the perception also

Most insurances prefer us to get the generic medication. I’m on a couple of medications that my Dr. Has to keep telling my insurance that I’m staying on the brand name medication.
