medicine/dianosis


Hej all
I am very worried about my medicine.
I get 250mg Keppra 4 times a day and in the evening I get 1o mg Frisium. I have been operated in the brain 2 years ago because the doctors thought I had cancer in the frontal lap (showed by MR scanning), but the microbiologist said it was normal brain tissue.

I dont think I get the right information abaut me illness. I think somethinks wrong with my metabolic. Have any of you knowledge about if this medicine I get is disturbing anything? Becaurce I think I´m getting osteperose.

And is it ok. to take Frisium for many years (addiction). I can tell that the danish healthsystem says that Frisium is only ok. for 2-4 week´s. Greetings.

Hi anonym, welcome to the forum.

Keppra is known to deplete the system of vitamin B6.

Welcome Anonym - Glad you joined us.

I hope you find some information here that will answer your questions. It is my belief and only my belief that medicine can mess with your metabolism. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Are you still experiencing seizures?

Talking Hi anonym


Welcome to CWE!

Why do you think you're not getting the correct information from your doctors? And is there something specifically makes you think your metabolism is messed up? WHY do you think you're getting osteoporosis? Are you still having seizures? If so, how often?

I don't think that you could call the need for an anti-epileptic drug (anti-epileptic drug) an ADDICTION. We are DEPENDENT on them to do their jobs, yes, but we're not ADDICTED. We don't get high off of them or anything like that.

Take care!

Meetz
