Taking Generic Levetiracetam (Keppra?)

Sat, 01/03/2009 - 22:11
Anyone taking the new generic levetiracetam (Keppra)? For those who don't know the pharmaceutical company Mylan came out with it early November. I was just wondering if anyone taking it has any qualms or comments because I'm starting my regiment on Monday.

I started taking the generic made by Mylan I stated having AWFUL side effects. I would not recommend it.
