So im now up to 500mg twice a day of my new drug keppra amd on the 9th of april my epilim will start to be reduced ...

Im kinda seeing improvements buut my memory is awful !!!

I have another mri next friday and we will see

Does anyone know much about prolactin levels in terms of seizures
They told me mine wer 756 is that good or bad or what :/ x
 
And the memory just gets worse :( why do these drugs do this to us :(

I have drs tomorrow as i seem to be having about 17 hours a day sleep :/

Does anyone have any experience with keppra, epilim and sleeping ???
 
Prolactin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Usually women who are pregnant or breastfeeding have a high prolactin level. Low thyroid problems can also alter the prolactin levels. Sometimes a pituitary tumor is the cause. Once my prolactin level was elevated and my dr. ordered another MRI, just to be sure. But it turned out to be a medication that my shrink had prescribed (wish I could remember which one it was). Some anti-depressants can cause this problem, also.

Did your dr. mean 756 nanograms per milliliter? That is rather high.
 
I Dont know what measurement it was i think it was mnol ? :-/ not sure
Im not pregnant or breastfeeding atm ... But i do have low blood pressure and an underactive thyroid that i take medication for

I have a mri next Friday
