Keppra/Lyrica

[Sandee]

Hi,
I just joined today. I am on 75mg Lyrica in the morning and at noon and 150mg Lyrica at night. I also take Keppra 500mg in the morning and 1000mg at night. I am tired by late afternoon and have gained almost ten pounds since starting the meds in January. I had been on Dilantin for 38 years but my levels couldn't be controlled anymore. I became toxic. For almost a month I was on the Dilantin-Lyrica-Keppra combo and was like a zombie. I don't have the drugged feeling anymore but do feel as if I could care less about things. I find I speak my mind and don't worry about it. I never did that before. I am curious to hear other experiences with Lyrica/Keppra combo.
Thank you for creating this area for me to "talk" about my concerns.

Hi Sandee, welcome to the forum.

Stacy (my wife) has not been on Lyrica/Keppra, so I don't have much to offer you there, but I did want to welcome you to the forum.

Welcome Sandee - we don't have any connection to Lyrica/Keppra either.
I am sure others will be by to share their experience.
Glad you joined us.
