Thats great news! Ive been taking Keppra XR (750mg tablets) for almost a year now. Its a great medication that works well for me. Ive never been on any generic drugs before, so maybe next time I see my dr, which will be in August of next year, I may have to bring this up to him! :)
 
I think Im going to be giving this a try this year! Just found out that the prescription my drs office faxed to the mail order pharmacy, is for generic! So I thought Id give it a try! Im praying it goes smoothly and I have no bad side effects!
