Couple of questions about epilepsy.
I acquired epilepsy after my stroke last year, my first seizure was in August of the same year, and now I've had seven over all. I'm now on a dose of 2x175mg Lamotragine, and 2x1000mg Keppra per day since my last seizure on the 28th May. Keppra was only added after my last one, it went up by 250mg

Getting on top of epilepsy.
I've had seven seizures now, they've happened over a period of 10 months, and they're starting to take their toll. It's this medication that's killing me, 2x200mg Lamotragine and 2x750mg Keppra per day (one dose in the morning, and one dose at night. I'm so tired all the time, even typing this is difficult

Does anyone have trouble with getting medical professionals to take you seriously when you report side effects of AEDs?
My son is suffering side effects from Keppra (aggression, anger, unable to sleep, emotional all the time, depressed). They've prescribed Melatonin to help him sleep and this does take a slight edge off the other side effects but not completely. I've asked for him to be taken off Keppra but have to

Epilepsy medication
I was diagnosed with a Ganglioglioma tumour and Focal Epilepsy almost 3 years ago now. First medication was Keppra which made me tired all the time. Next I was given Lamotrigine which caused bad head pains. I am now on Pregabelin and often feel off balance and my memory has become dreadful. Over

Is there any recommended specialist centres in the UK?
I have had epilepsy for 10 years and have never gone more than a year before having a seizure. They always occur in winter months when the mornings are dark and they always happen in early mornings usually before 7am within the first 30 minutes of waking. Because they are only annual they are not deemed

My 15 year old is on 1500mg Keppra and 900mg Trileptal twice daily
he is now on his max level of Keppra but experiences hot flushes and 'itchy' periods where his skin feels as if it's burning. Anyone else experienced similar?
