Epilepsy Medication
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
dosage until next EEG scan.

Gabapentin
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 seizures would decrease/go away. So I did and it worked!

Effect of warfarin on epilepsy medication
The AED's the neurologist has tried are: phenytoin,
keppra
, epilim, lamictal and lethyl. He is now wanting to include fycompa into the mixture. I have also tried a keto diet and cbd oil as well. Is there anyone else on warfarin and AED's that have managed to get control over their seizures?

Another Seizure After Going 7 Months Free
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 twice a day.

I am not an epileptic.
I asked for a 90 day supply of
Keppra
, of course he said yes. More drugs, why not?

What a weekend
He added

Changing medications
Slowly switching from
keppra

Can epilepsy stop?
I have now seen my Epilepsy nurse who is not happy with my reaction to
Keppra
and even less with the fact I have stopped the medication. However she has agreed reluctantly that I can stay off the
Keppra
until I start to fit again.

Fycompa
The doctors are recommending a RNS and I am still a little hesistamt about that so Fycompa is being prescribed to replace
keppra
. He is also on Onfi and Vimpat. After reading the reviews I am considering just saying no to this med.

alcohol and medication
She is on
Keppra
, Lamictal and Epilim to control her seizures. Will an occasional glass of wine upset the balance of these medications?

Breathlessness while on Keppra
I know I risk the fits starting up again by dropping the dose of
Keppra
but I can't spend the rest of my life gasping for breath while just sitting on the sofa. Has anyone else suffered breathing problems when taking
Keppra
? Heather
