has anyone whos taken keppra feel anxious and nervous and jump when you hear a bang or loud noise even though ya know its gonna happen? i do and i get a weird feeling in my stomach. has anyone else suffered this? i have been off the meds nearly 4 month now
 
I've only been on the Keppra 3 weeks and Lamictal 2 weeks, so maybe it's the Keppra..i dont know since this all is new to me..but I am jumpy like that now. its strange..even if I see my dog getting ready to bark and i know shes gonna bark..the bark makes me jump.
 
I've been on keppra for a good while and I'm the same way crazychick.

I've been to alot of concerts and my husband will tell me that they are about ready to make the loud boom and shoot fire. Three seconds later, when it happens, I still jump about 10 feet in the air.

Mostly though if someone startles me I throw punches. My husband and I sleep in sperate bedrooms, mostly because we're both bed hogs and he snores too bad. Every morning he comes in to tell me that he's going to work, I've almost hit him several times. Now he just stands in the door way and tells me he's leaving, I've even punched then.

I've 'shot' him with the hair dryer too. I'll be drying my hair and he comes into the bedroom. I grab the hair dryer with both hands like a gun and point it at him. I think I even 'shot' my dad with a sandwich once too when he walked in and I was eating!
 
Its mainly noises with me. I get a weird feeling in my stomach to. Im off keppra and im still jumpy i dont undestand. Its the worst med i have ever been on. Do any of you suffer with hair loss through this med?

I'm taking Keppra, Topomax, and Vimpat. I have some hair loss but it is nowhere near as bad as it was. When I was at a higher amount on Keppra, before starting the Vimpat I had issues. Once the dose was lowered things changed. Hope that answers your question.
 
mines still coming out as well as my eyebrows and sometimes my eyelashes but i have been off keppra 4 month now.
 
i had this b4 i even went on keppra... tegretol does it to me! and i know how u feel its not nice...
