Hi, this is my first time posting, and I was hoping to get some help or insight.
About 5-6 years ago, I experienced a seizure in my sleep. Since then, I've had a few more, all while sleeping. I had been on Keppra 500mg nightly for about 4.5 years, and have been on Levetiracetam 500mg nightly for approximately 6 months now. I haven't had any problems with either, but the one time my doctor temporarily took me off the drug, I relapsed and had another seizure. Recently, though, my current prescription ran out before the newest one arrived in the mail. Since running out of medication a week ago, I have been totally unable to sleep and felt a totally crippling depression at most points of the day. I have felt depressed before, but nothing nearly as severe as this. Accompanying the depression is a nausea and lack of appetite.
I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me if these are common withdrawal symptoms, and if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
