Keppra hair loss

[angel]

I am really not clear as to what you took? Surely sounds like an allergic reaction to me.
What is Nitro Macro? Did the neurologist also tell you about the risk of antihistamines and seizures?

nitro Macro is a generic form of macrodantion.... just got off the phone with my kidney doctor taking me off that and now they want me on septra once a day... its for that bladder infection thats not wanting to go away......

no actually my neurologist told me to keep bynadril with me in case of allergic reaction..... I think the risk of an allergic reaction right now from all the meds out weighs the seizures.... I guess im going to have to call the doctor back because i just read that septra can cause seizures along with sjs .... blah....

Im gunna go call and get this straightened out and try to see if my neurologist and urologist can kinda get together on these meds... its messing me all up $50 for the nitrofur macro which is going to have to go in the trash because im allergic..... what a waste,,,, my eye is a little puffy too i noticed..... Im kinda annoyed right now...... like two doctors cant work together because of time or what....... ttyl

im fine though just a lil annoyed... and still a lil itchy

Gotcha

You know ... I would go to a really good pharmacist to get a second (or third) opinion.
Take care Angel, you have really been through the wringer

Expensive but a little bit goes a looooooong
ways baby!



I learned this from a Neruology ARNP Nurse.
anti-epileptic drug's wreck a havoc on one's hair, but Tea
Tree Condition from Paul Mitchell works wonders.

Just put a tiny dab smaller than a dime on the
palm of your hand and rub your hands together
after you shampoo; and towel dry and then
massage it all in and let it soak in for at least
10-15 minutes, and she recommended a nice
warm clean wash cloth to rub it in gently and
recommends a hair dryer set on med/low setting
and blow it until it's slightly dry.

Do this every day for one week, then every
2-3 days after that and you will be astonished
that it works.

It works for Men, Women, and Children and will
make your hair baby soft and minimize the hair
loss.

If you're loosing excessive hair; then the meds
are too high for you; you need to have a serious
talk with your neurologist / epileptologist.

But she DID stress that:

1) Hair loss sometimes is heredity, nothing you
can do about it.

2) Hair loss that was sudden as a result from
the meds is a reaction and needs to be dealt
with.

3) It is normal for people to loose small amounts
of hair every day.


That is what she told me years ago. And she
also informed me that people with thin hair looses
more hair than people with thick hair!
