After trying the generic keppra xr and having seizures, Ive been back on the Name brand Keppra XR for 6 days now. I had my first seizures since taking the generic, Friday night at 2am...november 30... that next morning, my next dose I took the name brand. I had saved two weeks of the name brand if something like this were to have happened.
Then came another seizure monday night... then wednesday night. Ive had lots of auras during the day... but it hasnt let to seizures.
What I had on hand for ativan, was prescribed to me last november 2011 when I was dx'd in the ER with bronchitis and was given Hydrocodone. Not knowing when taking that with Keppra XR, it will lower my seizure threshold and cause seizures, I took it, and found out I was having night seizures. So I had to stop. I was given a prescription for .5mg tablets of ativan for chest pain and to stop the seizures from coming in November 2011. Havnt touched them since. Now these seizures come up since trying the generic keppra xr, and I had those on hand. I know they were over a year old, but I had to take them.
I have 1 ativan left, and since Im still having seizures, I wanted to check in with my neuro's office to see if I can get a small amount incase the seizures dont want to stop. I pray they do... but just incase.
I leave voicemail, and today I get a call back from the drs nurse, saying my neuro wont prescribe me the ativan, I have to go back to whoever prescribed it for me last year.... GET THIS..... DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....
to Treat my "Anxiety!"
When they hell did someone tell me I have anxiety?
Would you call giving me ativan due to seizures occuring for taking hydrocodone when dx'd with Bronchitis, resulting in seizures "anxiety"?
Hell no.
So Here I sit... still only 1 week left of name brand keppra xr.
Still having break through seizures, which last time I was put back on the Keppra XR after having my VEEG last year, It took me between 3-4 weeks to get to a good level and stop having seiuzres. Im on day 6. My neuro wont give me ativan. If I have a seizure, I have one ativan left and thats it. I have to go without taking anything to prevent another seizure from coming on.
I freaking give up with this neuro's office. To tell me they see me having anxiety, when I simply gave a generic seizure medication a try for two weeks and had to go back to name brand... is anxiety... they have their heads stuck up their butts! Im so looking around for a new neuro!
