Ladybug- Check the Web: "Drugs.Com" for Keppra- I was there yesterday to check out drug interactions/side effects and saw a mention of Keppra at reduced prices (you can click on it). I would check it for you now but I would lose this page & never find it again........Also could type in "Keppra"& search web directly; this could give you wider options yet. I believe there IS help availiable for your medication costs. If you have an understanding doctor, explain your financial situation- for a short time he may have samples he can let you have to give you some "breathing room" to check out options. From information mentioned in your post, I can not tell if you would qualify for assistance such as Medicaid, but you could check that out also. Hope this might help.

Hi Ladybug -
Vent all you want - we all need to do it, and this is a great place to get the understanding and compassion you need.
Try this link out:
http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/drugassist_links.html
There are some links to a few drug assistance programs. There are others out there, so if you need more info, let me know and I will be happy to help you look them up!
Blessings,
Barb

Hey LAdybug!
Theres nothin' wrong with venting so please go right ahead. Seems to me theres alot of us going thru alot and if you need to vent its a healthy thing otherwise you will explode. I know myself Im sick and tired of life and I am fed up over a bunch of things as well. Sending you BIG hugs and I hope things start looking up for you.
