Hello everyone. I wrote a blog yesterday and a few days ago telling about my seizures troubles. For some odd reason it seems that one of my medications or possible both are not fully working anymore. I was lucky and was told a few days ago that I have a neurologist here in Austin.. FINALLY! But that bad news is that I won't be able to see him until November. I was told to go to ER if I had anymore seizure troubles since they can get a neurologist there soon. But me being me, I am stubborn but not as bad as my Sis LOL. So I decided to have a chat with my family doctor about changing Keppra to Keppra XR and keep Tegretol XR the same. He agreed to give it a try and then get blood work in a month or so.
Tonight I am going to start Keppra XR so that if it makes me real sleepy then I will be on my way to bed. I am HOPING that it will make a difference. I noticed a difference with Tegretol vs Tegretol XR. I can feel when Keppra stops working- even though there is probably medication in your system still, its just not a highest or peak level and you have to take it twice a day.
So- I am going to give it a shot and hope that both medications being at a sustained or slow release form will help. Missing medications have been a problem for me but I am working on it.
So XR's it is! Now just to wait and see how it works out. I would love to be able to go several months without a seizure. I am hoping!
Everyone or anyone on Keppra XR- give me some advise or experiences you care to share about it. I assume it will be similar to Tegretol XR in its constant/slow release of medication keeping me safer against missed meds ect but still want to hear from those on Keppra XR.
Everyone take care and be safe.
