Newly diagnosed with generalized seizures
I was just recently diagnosed with epilepsy, I had my First tonic clonic seizure at the end of May. I recently had an EEG done and my doctor diagnosed me with generalized seizures. Over the past year I’ve had a mixture of absence and myoclonic seizures. During the eeg I felt my left arm and leg twitching

Spasms / mini seizures
Hi everyone, My mum is in the later stages of PSP, not able to walk, speech is minimal and her liquid intake is all by PEG and some solid food. A few weeks ago, she was taken to hospital with mini seizures, and she spent a couple of nights there. They put her on some new medication Keppra, which seemed

Adderal XR and Guanfacine
We’ve struggled finding the right medication for our 7yo daughter with combined ADHD. The best single med that has worked is Adderal XR. But this past 3 months it really hasn’t worked. Our Dr suggested adding guanfacine to help. At first it was a miracle. She was less impulsive. Not as LOUD. She

Focalin to Strattera.....
Hi Parents, My son who is turning 9/going into 4th grade is currently on Focalin XR 10mg. My doctor brought up that this medicine is very good and something that will be very useful to him later in life such as highschool. She is being proactive and recommending to take a break from stimulants and switching

Same brand of medication
Make sure you stick to the same brand. I've been on Keppra brand for approx 10 yrs. Felt great with no side effects. Recently the pharmacist couldn't get the Keppra brand so ended up with a different one. This resulted in having all the nasty side effects and more seizures. On checking further found

Adderall xr doesn’t seem to work as well?
Hi everyone! So glad I found this resource. I was tAking vyvanse 40mg and adderall 10mg to help me think faster/concentrate for about the last year. For some reason, my dr is against stating a diagnosis. Anyway, It was great for a while but then I had to see a new dr and now my insurance won’t cover

Epilepsy Meds and non NSAIDS with NAFLD
Hi there! I'm a newbie with a couple questions. Does anyone know which epilepsy meds aren't as hard on the liver? I'm currently on Keppra and Topamax. Also, I have ehlers danlos, so chronic pain is a serious issue. I've developed asthma and an allergy to NSAIDS. Does anyone have recommendations for pain

Quillivant and Adderall side effects
My 7 year old has tried Quillivant XR and Adderall...he has bouts of crying, gets cold, irritable and does not want to do what he normally would (play outside, be silly) until meds wear off. Has anyone experienced this and changed to a nonstimulant? Any advice is helpful, thank you!

Can't seem to stop constant underarm odor
Hello, My wife has had PD for around four years. This strong underarm odor always returns in 1-2 days after a good cleaning. The anti-perspirant deodorants make no difference at all, because she very seldom, if ever, perspires/sweats. I've started using my Brut deodorant on her but that was no help either

What is the difference between Adderall and Adderall XR?
How different is the simple Adderall to Adderall XR and how do they function in our body for the treatment of ADHD? Which one is more efficient then other?

Daughter had sensory seizure yesterday
My daughter had her first daytime seizure. It was a bad smell accompanied eventually by headaches, twitching eyes, and tingling face. Our doctor is increasing the keppra to 4 mL twice a day. We're also going to try melatonin to get her sleep more on track. She sleeps so much now that she is missing school
