Switching from Keppra (levetiracetem) to lamotrigine
Hi, I have been on
Keppra
for two years seizure free at 500mg twice a day. I suddenly started having seizures again and they increased my dosage to 750mg twice a day.

Keppra
I have been put on a low dose of
Keppra
that is going to be built up over the next few months. I have been on it for about 3 weeks and now at 750mg a day. My question is does everyone get as tired as I have been. I'm unable to do anything without drifting off.

Please help! Epilepsy and anxiety plus everything else!
So after learning epilim is not a good choice to be on for women, I asked my doctor to switch and I got put onto
Keppra
, 250mg twice a day. I'd been doing great.

Side effects of Keppra
I have been on
Keppra
nearly a year now and my dosage has been creeping up, since last week to 3 x1000mg the worst I have ever felt. So contacted my neurologist who has told me to go back to 2 x1000mg a day has anybody else had strange reactions to this med.

Generic brands
I'm now taking the generic version of
Keppra
and the pharamist is starting to worry me. My gp has prescribed levetiracetam but the pharmacist is saying that she can't guarantee she can give me the same levetiracetam each time as many companies make it.

Levetiracetam/Keppra dizziness and memory
I'm really trying hard to stick with generic levetiracetam but I'm struggling with side affects, which I don't get with Lamictal. I'm so forgetful it's getting embarrassing in my job and I've never noticed this before .I've also noticed today that I'm feeling wobbly, as though my head isn't moving as

Keppra

Amlodopine reaction
I take
Keppra
(2500 daily) and Lamotrogene (150mg daily) and also take amlostin 5mg daily, ramipril 1.25mg daily for blood pressure control plus artorvastatin 20mg daily cholesterol control. There appears to be a shortage of amlostin (5mg daily) and was issued a generic amlodipine 5mg medication.

One step forward and Two steps back....
I have no idea, I thought by being on 500mg in the morning & 750mg in the eve of
keppra
for my pain that it would knock out any kind of seizures but obviously not. Please could anyone help, it just seems I never get a break & if I do I end up paying for it later....
