Mother of infant with intractable epilepsy
Currently he is on Topamax, Rivotril,
Keppra
and we are weaning him off Phenabarbitone. When he has the grand mal seizures, he screams / shouts (he is only 12 weeks old), sometimes becoming very high pitched screaming.

Now apparently this is due to the
Keppra
I'm now on (2x1500mg per day), namely the high dose.

How do I cope with rehab?
They keep trying to make me take the generic brand of
Keppra
, which I cannot take. I take
Keppra
because I cannot not tolerate changes in the genric brand. One time you can get one make and another a completely different make which worsened my seizures. I was put on
Keppra
to ensure continuity.

Couple of questions about epilepsy.
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 every 2 weeks until I recently reached the 1000mg mark.

Getting on top of epilepsy.
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 to do, my focus is shot, which really doesn't help with exams coming up.

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.

MRI Scans - What do multiple high intensity signal areas on an mri scan mean after sustaining tbi?
I have seen some improvements to my seizures with anti epileptics (
Keppra
- horrible side effects), but still very dehbilitated as can't go any where with fluroscent lights for any period of time, which renders me virtually house bound. The more seizures I have, the more tired I am.

Epilepsy medication
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.

Is there any recommended specialist centres in the UK?
Im now on a maximum dose of
Keppra
and the last increase had to be done by a consultant as it was beyond the BNF recommended dosage. I now rarely admit to having seizures as I cannot surrender my driving license again. I have done this twice and delayed starting driving for several years.

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?
