New drug
Introduced to
Keppra
and tonic clonic returned...so now suggested to stop
Keppra
and introduce Zonisamide. On low dose of Oxcarbazepine. I have read side effects of this drug and side effects concern me greatly. Anyone else on this drug? Thanks

Lacosamide
Im also finding that since
keppra
increase to 750mg twice a day after a seizure on 1st september lasting around 10 minutes, this has had an effect regarding being more agitated and impatient.

TLE and weakness
Currently taking
keppra
750mg twice a day and 50mg lacosamide twice a day. Being stuck in the house all day on my own while hubby is at work for up to 12 hours isnt helping anxiety/depression. Im wondering if there is anyone who has the same head/brain feelings with their epilepsy?

Cenobamate experience
After an increase in seizure frequency my consultant is talking about changing me from
keppra
+ lamotragine to
Keppra
+ Cenobamate. The only review I can find of Cenobamate are on drugs.com. It does tend to attract negative reviews.

Keppra increases
Started on 250mg.
keppra
tonight after failing clonodine quickly (leg cramps and increased blood pressure did in that one). 250mg isn't enough, at least tonight, and I am wondering how quickly I should increase. Doc says I can go up to 750mg. and I have a terrible time with tolerating medicines.

Brain fog, weakness meds or tumour?
I take steroids in the morning and
Keppra
at night and experience a constant brain fog and weakness to limbs which I am unsure as to whether it is due to the meds or the tumour. The brain fog is variable but appears worse if I don't sleep well.

Keppra
for long term Epilepsy [although no episodes for years, but never properly reviewed. Rapinirol for mildly high blood pressure. quite a cocktail of drugs for anyone, I’m sure you would agree.

Epilim and folate / change to lamotrigine ?
My neuro tried changing me to
Keppra
last year – however, this made me vomit and I had to change back. He also suggested Lamotrigine. I wonder if I should try switching to this? Can Lamotrigine cause any problems with absorbing nutrients ?

Claiming PIP again!
I was discharged from my neurosurgeon last August and now only see a consultant once a year as I am on
keppra
for epilepsy. I did get a part time job in a supermarket but had to leave as I realised it was too much.

Focal seizures
Im having to slowly increase
keppra
back to 750mg after weaning back down to 500mg since november. Im wondering whether weaning off has caused these focal seizures, as they seem to be occuring nearly every day for the past month or so.

Rheumatoid Meningitis Recovery
I finished my taper dose of prednisone and am still on
Keppra
to prevent seizures. I would love to hear your experiences, especially if anyone has had rheumatoid meningitis. How long was the recovery? Did you ever relapse? Thank you for welcoming me to your support group. 💗

I'm new
I take
Keppra
to prevent seizures. I had hoped to recover quicker but I'm finding it a very slow process. I can now read and listen to some music and my concentration span has increased, but I am still off work and need to rest throughout the day.
