Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that I've tried the generic and I had breakthrough seizures. My doctor suggested brand name and it's worked great for me. I experience a bit of brain fog and a tiny bit of irritability from time to time, but if those are the only side effects, it's more than worth it. Good luck,
Terri

Is the Generic not contolling her seizures? I am on the generic and am doing good exept for the kepprage(anger from keppra). I take 750mg 2x a day. I have heard some people liked the brand name better.
