It makes sense. Because if you’re doing well, you start to wonder: “Why do I need these meds anymore”?
Epilepsy Generics: Yes, No or Maybe So?
17 Comments
Almost everybody considers generic drugs a no-brainer. You get significant savings without any (noticeable) change in your treatment.
But they’re not epileptic. And they don’t walk the tightrope of a delicate neurological balance.
