I'm on the generic versions of Keppra and Depakote, and have nothing to say but "Great products ... I love what I'm saving in money!". I see no difference between the name brands and the made-in-America generic ones. So much warning that's out there about generics is done by people who have absolutely no facts to back up their headlines--or it's coming from name brand drug companies that cannot bear the idea of bringing in less money per year. If you're trying out generics, my fellow patients, do not make decisions until you've given your body several months to adjust to them. Rah-rah, generics. Keep on coming!
