keppra xr

What are people who have been taking Keppra XR doing in 2017? I have researched all my options, no insurance company in TX covers Keppra/Keppra XR? I am forced to try the generic. I can't find any data on the success rates, as like me, no one wants to risk a seizure. Keppra/Keppra XR have kept...

Hi all. After 2 decades of basically the same AED, I have just not thought to join a forum and do a little research of my own. My seizures have been controlled successfully (first Tegretol tablet, then I learned hat Carbatrol worked a little perfectly due to being an xr capsule - no breakthru...

In a nutshell, I have TLE and been diagnosed for about a month and a half now. My seizures come in clusters every 3-4 months or so. My neurologist prescribed me Keppra XR. She said if I take this, all my seizures will cease down and I'll be able to live a normal life and I can drive again and...

So I was finally used to all of my medicine and feeling normal... And my dosages all just got upped today :( the neuro put me on Keppra XR instead of regular Keppra since I told him most of my partial seizures take place in the morning before I've taken my medicine and in the evening before I...

Hello all, I'm hoping maybe some of you have some feedback for me. I'm 12 weeks pregnant and am on Lamictal XR, 300mg once a day, but am having breakthrough seizures. My dr wants to switch me to Keppra XR, instead of increasing the Lamictal. I was on regular Keppra a couple of years ago and...

Hi all! I was diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy when I was 13. I was put on depakote and responded greatly to the drug. I didn't suffer through the dreaded weight gain and was 100% seizure free. No breakthroughs, no side effects, it was great. Well the past 3 or so years, my doctor has...

I just went to refill my prescription: I was on Keppra XR 500 mg and asked my neuro if I could go on a generic. Well the generic isn't an XR. Thankfully my pharmacist caught it. He told me it wouldn't have the same lasting effects as the XR. So I have a call into my neuro about it- who...

Hi. Just like every AED I ever took, Keppra XR is ruining my life. I would very much prefer to have seizures. I've gone round and round about this with my neuro. I got depression, anxiety, insomnia, angry outbursts, thoughts of suicide and dying on this drug. I am sick of it. I used to be...

Hello everyone. I wrote a blog yesterday and a few days ago telling about my seizures troubles. For some odd reason it seems that one of my medications or possible both are not fully working anymore. I was lucky and was told a few days ago that I have a neurologist here in Austin.. FINALLY! But...
