(1,894 posts)2. I just got my antiseizure med from Canada today
I take brand-name for my antiseizure medication as generics are not even close to being "equivalent", and vary wildly in active ingredient. The brand name of my medication in the US costs $640 per month, so 3 months would be $1920. I can get 3 months from Canada (brand name) for $128 total.

Its tough out there if you have certain conditions. I'm grateful that I can manage it.
