Generic Substitution in the Treatment of Epilepsy: Case Evidence of Breakthrough Seizures
Neurol 71:525-530, Berg,M.J.,et al., 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Changing from a brand antiepileptic drug (AED) to a generic may result in seizures. This raises the concern that current Food and Drug therapeutic equivalence testing regulations may not be accurate for AEDs and suggests that more clinical evidence is needed. Physicians, pharmacists, patients, and policy makers should be aware that for some patients there may be risks associated with switching from brand to generic AEDs.
