Hello everyone!! My son Braydon is 10 and was diagnosed Tonic Clonic seizures/ Genetic Generalized Seizure disorder only about one month ago. We have only ever had 1 seizure however his EEG showed a very high risk of another. He takes 500mg Keppra in the am and 500MG in the pm. He never had a single headache prior to his seizure and now he has them at least 4-5 times a week. They had us remove him from his Keppra for 48 hours to see if it was the Keppra. He has Diastat so that was not an issue and since it was over a weekend we could keep a close eye on him. He did great no headaches, however at the end of his 48 hours he had what I can only describe as a panic attack. VERY VERY high anxiety and holding his ears screaming everyone was being to loud. Crying because people were talking to loud and crying that his head hurt. It lasted only about 5 minutes. So we called the Dr yesterday am and told him the findings and they do not think the Keppra is causing the headaches but asked me to keep a log of all the headaches for the next few weeks and report back my findings. Anyone else having these issues while their selves/children are on it? The Dr. does not want to reduce the amount based on his need for it from the EEG. Thanks any input would be helpful!!
