Well, after almost 1 month of being switched back to the Keppra XR at 3000mgs a day, all my symptoms... (numbness tingling feeling I had my left hand and foot, and headaches) went away within days of being put back on the Keppra XR. So I report the good changes to the dr, and of course I dont hear back. But as time went on, I got to thinking.... Why should I have to see the PA again in August when my DR himself should be seeing me? She is not the one who was there during the VEEG, and saw the results. She also wasnt the one changing my medications, over the past few months, and telling me I was suffering from anxiety attacks and Keppra rage!
So, I called the office and left a message, asking to please be seen by the dr himself and not the PA next time I got back in August. I get a call today, saying that is fine. But instead of August 25th, it will be August 31st. Which is fine with me. I just would like to see HIM, since he is the one who was with me during all the changes, and he's also the one that needs to hear it from me how I went back to the psych dr, and agrees with me that what he is thinking is Non-epileptic seizures, were in fact due to abrupt withdrawal from my seizure medications! My last seizure was March 12th. One day after being sent home from my VEEG, and my second day of being back on Keppra XR, and not the Carbatrol. I went 3.5 days with no medications, and then put back on Keppra XR. I just want this dr to realize that Anticonvultants does not treat Non-Epileptic seizures. Like the psych dr said, if those were truely non-epileptic seizures, they would still be popping up, and not go away with taking Keppra or any other seizure medications.
