Start drinking more green juices, including wheatgrass, which will help alkalize your blood and reduce cravings for coffee and caffeine. To help avoid withdrawl problems, consider migrating off gradually with half decaf, working your way to 100% decaf or hot tea. Remember, part of the addiction can be the experience (going to a cafe or wrapping your hands around a big, warm mug), so look for ways to replicate the experience without the caffeine.
... I was a happy bunny til my liver decided it didn't like keppra ...
I am thinking I am going to quit caffiene instead of just cutting back. I don't like the way my personality interacts with caffiene and tegretol/tegretol xr.
Keppra is metabolized in the kidneys, not the liver. It's one of the only AEDs that works that way.
Keppra can potentially damage the kidneys, but it's mostly a risk if you already have kidney problems when you go on it. It's important to drink plenty of water while you are on it.Bernard, does Keppra damage the kidneys? I am on Keppra.
:roflmao:I am not going to give up all my coffee. For epilepsy. For my ulcer I am giving up more. Makes my stomach hurt. Poor poor pittiful me, poor poor pittiful me.
