My first question is why are you taking it? If it's for seizures it is recommended not to switch from brand to generic or vs verse and not to switch manufacturers.
Your doctor can specify “Do not substitute” or “Dispense as written”
My insurance company refused my brand also but my doctor did the above and they pay for it, reluctantly I'm sure.
Good luck,
Jake

Hi Jake. I’m taking it for petit mal seizures. And my neurologist will recommend it, but in looking at all of the Medicare information, that doesn’t necessarily seem to be ‘enough’. Perhaps I do not understand everything quite yet. And I will do this. But still investigating all of what is needed. Thank you.
