Hi my names Kathy & I have Epilepsy since I was 21,, I have multiple CaveromasAninomas , I am on Lamotrine & Phytoin but am in the process of changing from Phytoin to Keppra...been on Phytoin 25 yrs..not enjoying the change over, as near end now & am having small break through Seizures.

Am 48 now, am a Part time cleaner & I care for my twin whom has learning problem but does not have Epilepsy, which I find weird considering we're,re twins.

Hope you are all well & I look forward to becoming a member :hugs:
 
Hi Dollhouse, welcome to CWE!

Transitioning from one med to another is always a tricky. Did your doc recommend it because of long-term side effects from the phenytoin?

I hope the Keppra works well for you, but if it doesn't, don't hesitate to let you neurologist know. There are other meds out there.

Best,
Nakamova
