Anxiety or Aura?
Hi there, I have recently upped my dose of
Keppra
from 2500mg per day to 3000mg per day due to an increase in Auras. I was totally exhausted and doing to much so have calmed down and increased my meds following advise from my epilepsy specialist.

When CLL Goes Awry
My seizures are treated with
Keppra
, an anti-epiliptic drug. I will have the second and last infusion of high-dose cytarabine into my spinal column later today. Progress has been slow but steady. I'm very optimistic.

Keppra 3,000 daily
I am currently on 3,000 mgs of
keppra
daily. I feel like I have changed ever since I started on AED's. Very irritable and angry, depressed, always sick and just want to be alone. Does anyone take
Keppra
3,000 mg dose for JME? Are there any supplements that help the anger or depression?

Seizures
He is on 1000mg
Keppra
and 300mg Epilium twice a day. We are now starting to wean him off Epilium and will do this over the next 6 weeks. My partner hasn't had a seizure since he was in hospital 6 weeks ago but with him coming off Epilium I know he is a potential seizure risk.

Please help
Then she said I probably had a relapse and upped my
Keppra
from 500mg to 750mg twice a day. The slurring got worse by the day and I was completely out of it. It felt like I was having attacks one after another.

Aged 90. Complex Partial
She is on
Keppra
. She goes absent, smacks her lips and constantly wants to pee. Most recent lasted 18 hours. Not unusual. Should I inform her doctor every time she has a seizure? She has just been referred to a neurologist.

Is it Meds or FND???
In the last month since I found out I was having non and epileptic seizures along with all the movements, my Neuro put me on
Keppra
. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell if it is helping with the seizures, when I don't know which ones are epileptic and which ones are not.

Keep safe in the Sun
Chemotherapy treatments can cause your skin to be more sensitive to the sun that usual. Please take care. Nearly any chemotherapy agent (or non-cancer-related medications as well) may cause you to be more sensitive to the sun. It’s important to talk with your oncologist about your particular medications

Pregnancy experiences please! :)
It is extremely well controlled with 1000mg
Keppra
3x daily and 200mg Lamictal 2x daily and another 100mg Lamictal midday. I've had pre pregnancy counselling with an epilepsy specialist nurse and take prescription dosage of Folic acid daily (and have done for the last 3 months).

Itchy
I'm taking sertraline,
keppra
and lamotrigine for my epilepsy and pain and depression. However now I'm finding my whole body is itchy and driving me crazy, I am making myself bleed because the itching is so strong and I am raking at my body.

Double dose of Keppra
Hi there has anybody ever taken their medication twice in the morning by mistake? I think I may have done this yesterday. I had 3 very strong auras which I haven't had for some time. I was also very tired and had been overdoing it, not getting enough sleep and working too hard etc. This is the first

Facial Twitching
I'm on 1000mg of
Keppra
x 2 a day to control absences (resulting from scarring - brain abscess.) I've been on this since Sept so I'm guessing it shouldn't be related to this drug. Can these twitches only be related to tiredness or should I go to the GP? I hope this makes sense.
