I'll let you know when I get over them. I started Keppra about 2 months ago and still seem to have a "new" side effect pop up each week.:ponder: Fortunately I haven't run into the "Kepprage" just yet, maybe just a tad but I can live with it.

took about 6 months I still have the sleepyness but I don't think that will ever go away
 
31 years and counting.
Same side effects as I've always had but getting a little more frequent now as I'm getting older. It's better than seizures.

I've gotten used to them and have learned to live with them ~ No probs.

Not a fan of any of the side effects. I kinda miss the way I felt last time I went off my meds. But I am aware that it was a really poor choice. and didn't enjoy just how often I found myself lying in ditches or new emergancy rooms.

it is always funny when i tell people "oh and anger management issues," and see the looks on their faces. It is of course a relative thing in response to my usual demeanor, but since I am use to it. it is only an issue to me.
 
With one of the meds I did't eat at all. With another all I did was eat. After a few months of these the neuro changed the med or the dosage ammount (don't remember which it was).

I am still tired from them. I have to take my nap in the afternoon.
 
My Side Effects

I have personally never fully gotten rid of the side effects of my meds.

I am currently on a coctail of Depakoate, Phenobarbital and Tegretol, since the age of 16. I am 45 now.

My main side effects is drowsyness. That is about it.
 
That would

depend on the med. I'm on 4 of them for my E. Different times for each one.....

What an annoyance. But, it could be worse........
 
Just a quick informative note,epi added zonergran to my trileptal and it takes away my appetite!!!YAY!!! After all that weight I gained on lyrica last year.Ive also had continuous headaches from trileptal and he told me zonergran would help--IT DID--second day in barely a pressure ache--I am so happy
