Hi, everybody
After my GM seizures i stayed for 15 years on Epilim Chrono and Keppra. It was not perfect but at least liveable. But now my old doc is selling his surgery to a new one. I was immediately given more Keppra in the morning (1000 mg instead of 750) and was told to take less Epilim. Later she wants to increase Keppra to 1000 in the evening too. My old doc always said to ignore how much this or that med is in the blood because it is different for everybody and to see how u feel. She thinks it is wrong and even called me to stop Epilin since there is too much in the blood.
Anyhow after a few days i was OK and hopeful. In a week i became absolutely not right. Some of u have same problems and sometimes even much severe ones ( i just stop speaking or understanding or reading for just a minute or two). My doc thinks it is a sort of an undeveloped seizure. Actually he was not bad, he tried all the meds on me. And as i reacted bad on most of them we always returned to the usual ones.
Anyhow for the last two days (i take my new dose for two weeks) it became really bad. If u can't talk for a few secs just a a two-three times a day u can survive but if it just doesn't stop...
My old doc will still be giving some consultations. Perhaps i just go back?
So i would extremely to everybody for your thoughts.
Take care and have a nice weekend
P.S. Do i need friends!!!!!!
