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

Seizures
The Drs prescribed
Keppra
. He had been on clonazepam for years fours times a day tablets. He has been unwell vomiting and we couldn't get the meds in him. So he has a syringe driver with clonazepam higher dose and glyco to manage excessive secretions.

I thought the tiredness might be caused by
Keppra
a drug I take for epilepsy, I’m also on statins … but anyway the GP did a blood test, the Serum Alanine transaminase was ‘out of range’ at 54 u/l.

Offered palliative care only
She is at home now with prescription of
Keppra
and dexomethasone. Got second opinion on a private hospital and she got offered 10 rounds of chemio, but wasnt seen physically, just the imaging. Does anyone know why in some ocassions cancer treatment is not offered?

After Lupron I have been having seizures
They did my brain tests which were inconclusive and advised I take a drug call
Keppra
. I said NO WAY Just look up this drug, and you will discover it has so many bad psychological effects it's -- shall I say worse than Lupron? It can make you violent, self-destructive, or even suicidal.

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.

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 ?
