I'm a happy girl (or lucky!)
Got the results from the Epileptologist (I'm collecting quite a few "ologists" on this APS journey) and have the all clear and no new seizures on current meds. It has been 6 months and now cleared to drive again as I have been compliant on Keppra. I'm a bit OCD with meds as it doesn't take much to

Finding help after ADHD diagnosis post menopause
I am a 67 yr old female who has had a rough 16 years since menopause, with still no resolution for the correct meds for me. I was put on antidepressants at the start of menopause at 51, then wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until 61 - after 10 years of utter brain fog and apathy (and lost 4 jobs in a row).

Gabapentin
My neurologist prescribed me Gabapentin early last year (2019) to help with my sleep seizures. I tried for a day/two but stopped taking them because I felt unsure about being on this as well as Keppra. I thought if I eat healthy, exercise, the usual, I should get into a healthy sleep routine and my sleep

Take two seizure medications?
Are there people out there who take two seizure medications? I am on 1000 mg of keppra in the morning, and in the evening. ALSO I take 200 mg of dilantin in the morning, and at night also. I have had no side effects. But does it work for people also. a DOCTOR was trying to cut dilantin due to my gums

Effect of warfarin on epilepsy medication
A haemorrhage in the brain during open heart surgery repairing a aneurysm started my epilepsy 3 years ago. Control of my seizures is still elusive. I get absence seizures (5-7 a day) and full tonic-clonic (2-3 a week). I have to be on warfarin for the rest of my life because of mechanical aortic valve

So my 7y/o son was recently diagnosed(although I've known for awhile) with ADHD. His symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity, ants in his pants, etc with some aggression. He has been seeing a psychologist for a few months now, and we are experimenting with Focalin XR 10mg. The 1st week everything

Epilepsy Medication
Hi Everyone, my 6 year old daughter Esra has been diagnosed with epilepsy since she was 3. She is currently switching from Keppra to Trileptal as doctors think her Epilepsy symptoms are more Focal onset however, her last seizure was generalised tonic-clinic seizure so now we stopped reducing the keppra

Keppra
After nearly 3 years off of phenytoin (Dilantin) I have been rediagnosed with epilepsy. I have been placed on 500 mg levetiraceta (Keppra). I had also just recently had Gabapentin added to my Ropinirole regimen, to help with my RLS. I was assured I could take the everything together and I was sleeping

Help with supplements
Hello! I am a mom of 4. My oldest son is 9 and has ADHD. He currently takes focalin XR and focalin for homework days after school. When he isn’t medicated he very loud and pretty sure he also had ODD. I am very interested in supplements to help his mood. Not sure how much of what and when to take it.

Another Seizure After Going 7 Months Free
Hi, I was diagnosed with JME Epilepsy at the age of 14. They put me on Keppra (Levetiracetam). I continued to have seizures and the dose worked its way up to 2000mgs twice a day. Unfortunately I had more seizures so they did not work. Now i am 20 and they have now switched me to Brivaracetam 1500mgs

Newly Diagnosed with Adult ADD
Hi there. I’m new here and newly diagnosed with adult add. I’ve started taking adderall xr and haven’t really seen a change. I still have no motivation and have a hard time focusing and getting off the couch. I would love to hear what other people have tried to help with the feeling like a slug. Thanks

Combining ADHD and Anxiety meds for inattentive type? Please share your experience...
Hello, my 16 year old son was diagnosed with anxiety in 3rd grade but with ADHD, inattentive this past summer at age 16. He still suffers with anxiety, mostly social anxiety. His lack of executive functioning seems to be the biggest issue right now with some impulsivity. He had already been on Paxil

I am not an epileptic.
Had my EEG earlier. All clear for me. He has no advice for me, bar, don't ever stop taking Gabapentin, for the love of God, don't stop. I asked for a 90 day supply of Keppra, of course he said yes. More drugs, why not?

Keppra for Spasticity
Hello folks. I really thought I knew it all. I was prescribed Keppra after my seizure, this is on top of my Gabapentin and Lyrica. I wasn't too sure about continuing, not another drug, how many more drugs?? Also, my friend takes Keppra, and it gives him shocking headaches, though he is an alcoholic

What a weekend
I was playing with my friend's children on Thursday. I remember the first five minutes, next thing I know, I am strapped to a hospital bed at 3am. Imagine that? The doctors told me nothing. After all, who am I? My wife came down the next day, but I was so out of it on military strength drugs,
