Rheumatoid Meningitis
I finished my taper dose of prednisone and am still on
Keppra
to prevent seizures. I would love to hear your experiences, especially if anyone has had rheumatoid meningitis. How long was the recovery? Did you ever relapse?

Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
To compound it all, she was prescribed
Keppra
for epilepsy which did reduce the episodes but gave her headaches so she stopped taking it. She has irregular, heavy painful menstruation with sugar cravings. Mini pill and implant made her feel even more exhausted and caused spotting and wooziness.

I’m still trying to get my life back but brain tumor surgery is a big deal to everyone and I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
I am also taking
Keppra
and the only time I ever had a seizure was at the end of my 11 hour surgery

Updated and now accurate results for my daughter - asking your help again please!
She has
epileptic
activity measured on EEG but not classic seizures, she is not taking her
Keppra
medicine for it at the moment as it gives her headaches. Neurologist is happy to provide
Keppra
but says she doesn't fit an epilepsy pattern - my brain explodes at this point.

Dualtherapy Keppra and Lamict
Hi, Wondering if I can get some advice so my son was put on
Keppra
back in March unfortunately it did not work for him so they have introduced Lamictal. He is currently on 1500mg of
Keppra
twice a day and will be on 100mg of Lamictal twice a day maintenance dose.

Reducing Keppra
Im now 3 days into reducing
keppra
back down to 500mg twice a day (500mg am and 750mg pm for 1 month). Does reducing dosage cause dizziness as ive been really dizzy today?

Piracetam
The neurologist here has added Piracetam to my meds (lamotragine and
keppra
). I’m a little nervous about this. Has anyone used it, is it reasonably ok in side effects terms? Will also talk to my neurologist back home.

Ropinirole?
Unsure if its noteworthy but i suffered with epilepsy from the age of 28 - 38 and was taking lamictal and
keppra
to stop seizures. i had brain surgery in jan 2020 and have been seizure free ever since so have stopped my anti epileptic meds and my RLS is off the charts.

Lamotragine side effects
Hi all, I’ve had epilepsy for about 25 years, until recently well controlled with
keppra
with only occasional breakthroughs. Unfortunately I had a particularly nasty seizure and injured myself in December. Lamotragine was added in gradually hitting 100mg twice a day.

Stopped smoking, stopped having seizures
I went to the doctor, surrendered my driving license and booked an appointment to see a neurologist and that was that: I was diagnosed with epilepsy and prescribed
Keppra

Mood swings and anti- seizure medications
He has tolerated the
Keppra
well but since starting on Lacosamide, he says that he can be feeling quite happy and then suddenly very tearful and was wondering if the new medication was causing this. Just wondered if anyone else felt this way. Jules

Parent of newly diagnosed teenager
He's now on
Keppra
and I guess we won't know how effective it is until months have passed without more episodes. He doesn't want to talk about it and we're trying hard to give him the space he clearly needs. He has great friends and is partying quite a lot to find his way through this.
