I'm a happy girl (or lucky!)
Got the results from the Epileptologist (I'm collecting quite a few "ologists" on this APS journey) and have the all clear and no new seizures on current meds. It has been 6 months and now cleared to drive again as I have been compliant on Keppra. I'm a bit OCD with meds as it doesn't take much to

Gabapentin
My neurologist prescribed me Gabapentin early last year (2019) to help with my sleep seizures. I tried for a day/two but stopped taking them because I felt unsure about being on this as well as Keppra. I thought if I eat healthy, exercise, the usual, I should get into a healthy sleep routine and my sleep

Take two seizure medications?
Are there people out there who take two seizure medications? I am on 1000 mg of keppra in the morning, and in the evening. ALSO I take 200 mg of dilantin in the morning, and at night also. I have had no side effects. But does it work for people also. a DOCTOR was trying to cut dilantin due to my gums

Effect of warfarin on epilepsy medication
A haemorrhage in the brain during open heart surgery repairing a aneurysm started my epilepsy 3 years ago. Control of my seizures is still elusive. I get absence seizures (5-7 a day) and full tonic-clonic (2-3 a week). I have to be on warfarin for the rest of my life because of mechanical aortic valve

Epilepsy Medication
Hi Everyone, my 6 year old daughter Esra has been diagnosed with epilepsy since she was 3. She is currently switching from Keppra to Trileptal as doctors think her Epilepsy symptoms are more Focal onset however, her last seizure was generalised tonic-clinic seizure so now we stopped reducing the keppra

Keppra
After nearly 3 years off of phenytoin (Dilantin) I have been rediagnosed with epilepsy. I have been placed on 500 mg levetiraceta (Keppra). I had also just recently had Gabapentin added to my Ropinirole regimen, to help with my RLS. I was assured I could take the everything together and I was sleeping

Another Seizure After Going 7 Months Free
Hi, I was diagnosed with JME Epilepsy at the age of 14. They put me on Keppra (Levetiracetam). I continued to have seizures and the dose worked its way up to 2000mgs twice a day. Unfortunately I had more seizures so they did not work. Now i am 20 and they have now switched me to Brivaracetam 1500mgs

Whats this?
The next day, I started on antibiotic Bactrim/
Septra
. My spot tripled in size and turned black but next day, it was slightly larger and brown. From the day I noticed it I have been keeping antibacterial ointment and bandage over it.

I am not an epileptic.
Had my EEG earlier. All clear for me. He has no advice for me, bar, don't ever stop taking Gabapentin, for the love of God, don't stop. I asked for a 90 day supply of Keppra, of course he said yes. More drugs, why not?

Keppra for Spasticity
Hello folks. I really thought I knew it all. I was prescribed Keppra after my seizure, this is on top of my Gabapentin and Lyrica. I wasn't too sure about continuing, not another drug, how many more drugs?? Also, my friend takes Keppra, and it gives him shocking headaches, though he is an alcoholic

What a weekend
I was playing with my friend's children on Thursday. I remember the first five minutes, next thing I know, I am strapped to a hospital bed at 3am. Imagine that? The doctors told me nothing. After all, who am I? My wife came down the next day, but I was so out of it on military strength drugs,

Update
To all those that wished us well for littleun’s first appointment at the RBH on Monday, I just wanted to let you know the outcome. Her fev1 was down to 47% and she very helpfully brought up some disgusting, blood streaked sputum, at which point our new named consultant phoned the bed manager in front

Can epilepsy stop?
I developed Epilepsy four years ago, starting with partial seizes and quickly progressing to full seizures in a couple of months. However the odd thing was that these seizures came about every 3 weeks when I would have a cluster, then stop for another 3 weeks. Really odd!! Eventually Keppra was the
