keppra

Hello, In October I had brain surgery to remove a lesion on my right frontal lobe. The pathology results of the lesion were somewhat inconclusive and basically suggest a demylinating process. Prior to the surgery I was having seizures and that is how the lesion was found. I was put on Keppra...

Hi all - So over the past year I have come off of Dilantin (seizure free since 2001) only to start having complex partial seizures. My family doc said they were panic attacks at first but after the third one, which my wife witnessed, I went to my neuro. He said they were definitely complex...

I know everyone's response to meds is different, but I still wondered if anyone has been on Keppra and then switched to the generic version. When it was first available I didn't bother making the switch because there wasn't enough difference in price to make it worth risking the change; for a...

Just curious, has anyone noted joint pain while on Keppra? My knees and ankles are becoming more and more bothersome lately. I've been on Keppra since about April (6 months maybe) and I've never noticed these problems. Thanks,:ponder:

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and new to epilepsy. My 2 year old, Lucy, was diagnosed with epilepsy. She has generalized absence and petit mal seizures. You probably wouldn't know she had an illness if you had just met her. She seems perfectly "normal" (whatever that actual means)...

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, Briggsy here. I've been seizure free for 4 years on Keppra. Previous to this I had nocturnal grand mal and daytime petit mal seizures, late onset (age 30). No family history, no associated illness/injury. So things are going along just fine, then day before yesterday I had a nocturnal...

What can you tell me about ramping up on Topamax? How long before it starts to have a big effect? I've been on 25 mg 2X/day for 4 days, and so far no big difference. I think. I'm not sure. It's the only AED my neuro has me on. Keppra didn't work out. (reference my rather raging prior post...
