confusion and keppra

[MadameJ]

Crazy chick, that is strange...i just went to mine last week and they confirmed that it was the side effects!? Am sorry..... You must be confused as hell. I guess they don't know or don't want to deal with it. Does your dr specialize in epilepsy?

[crazychick]

Hes a proper neuroligist well supposed to be lol. Hes took me off the keppra so hes basically made me go cold turkey. Will tbis not make my seizures worse?.

[MadameJ]

Well, that is my point...perhaps, if possible, try to find a neurologist that specializes in epilepsy. Good luck!!!

[crazychick]

[MadameJ]

Oh, sorry! Lol...

[crazychick]

I've been on Keppra since September 2010 after some type of brain infection brought on two seizures. I was 25 and never had any type of seizure before and epilepsy doesn't run in the family.

I was initially on 500mg twice a day then upped to 750mg twice a day after a tonic clonic seizure 6 months later. I had another tonic clonic in late September and another two weeks ago so was upped to 1000mg twice a day.

I suffer with a lot of side effects thats mentioned here like not thinking clearly, slight confusion and sometimes getting words mixed up within sentences. It's not a good feeling it's pretty hard to get used to

Yeah Ive been Spacey ever since I started on Keppra. The only way around it is eat health, exercise and take vitamins. I still haven't got the sleep part down yet

Aw i had a right time yestetday with my neurologist yesterday hes took me off keppra totally to see if the side affects are actually happening. He said i had diabetes nw hes sayin am not. Hes made me go cold turkey witb meds but im on pill as doctor suggested it as i am sure my seizures are catamenial.
