Myoclonic Seizures
Meanwhile, he put her on a drug called
Keppra
. My daughter feels worse taking this medication. It makes her tired, moody and she shakes even more. Has anyone had any success on any medication? How about medical marijuana? Thank you for any info you can share.

My situation
I’m currently on zonisamide, clobazam &
Keppra
which I have fully been on for 2 1/2 months. Hadn’t appreciated the possible side effects of
Keppra
which I experienced & still have moments, having switched from lamotrigine (happy pill feeling).

Epilepsy, not having empathy, outbursts, and insults that are impulsive
Is it
keppra
too? Is it mirtazapine? People say I'm using my condition as an excuse. Am I? I don't know what to think about myself anymore, accept that maybe I am a nasty horrible person. I don't know anymore.

Liver tests with AEDs?
Hi, I’ve been living with epilepsy for around 18 years and have been taking
Keppra
and Clobazam for around 16 (1000mg and 10mg respectively, everyday). A colleague of mine who also has epilepsy said I should be having regular liver tests...is this correct?

Keppra
I came off
keppra
because it made me dizzy and sick and gave me headaches now she wants to put me on it again, if they are going to pass me to new consultant why can’t she read my notes properly.

Keppra - positive/negative experiences?
As an alternative my neurologist has recommended
Keppra
but it is ultimately up to me to decide whether I should continue to try increasing my Lamictal (which is the only AED I've ever taken since I was diagnosed 7 years ago), or to switch to
Keppra
.

I have One Kidney...
I am 45 years old and only have one kidney. My Right kidney was removed due to a birth defect when I was 2 months old. I was very sick as a child, on daily Septra until about age 13 (off and on). I had chronic kidney and bladder infections. For some reason at around age 13 I was just fine....not sick

Keppra....5 months on
I thought it would be useful to comment about my daughter's experiences with
Keppra
after 5 months of usage. Initially she was put on 1000 mg daily but the side effects were intrusive - especially early in the day when she was at school.

Post surgery relapse?
She saw the GP who said to come off the
Keppra
and see if that helps, it’s not made any difference and now we have the added worry of possible seizures. I’ve tried to persuade her to go to the hospital and see the surgeon, ask for a CT scan etc etc, but she (and Dad) don’t like making a fuss!
