Epilepsy California was created through the collaborative efforts of the three Epilepsy Foundations in California—the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County, the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Los Angeles, and the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California. Epilepsy California was created to be the recognized, unified voice of the 400,000 to 500,000 people with epilepsy and seizure disorders throughout the state of California. Epilepsy California works to protect the rights of people affected by epilepsy and we ask that you join this growing grassroots movement. This grassroots effort is composed of people with epilepsy and their family members, volunteers, medical professionals and service providers. Working together we can make real change happen and we can improve the lives of individuals with epilepsy and their families.
As a part of Epilepsy California, the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Los Angeles is conducting a voluntary, anonymous survey to learn if people with epilepsy are having breakthrough seizures or more side effects as a result of having their anti-seizure medications switched by their pharmacy—with or without their approval or knowledge—from brand to generic medications OR from one form of the generic to another OR from generic to brand name medications. (The survey does not pertain to a doctor-ordered switch from one anti-seizure medication to another anti-seizure medication.) We invite each individual with seizures or a parent of a child with seizures to complete a survey. Every participant may enter the drawing to win a $300 Target gift card as a “thank you” for taking the time to complete the survey and help our efforts to make a difference for people with epilepsy.
