I know this is probly going to sound silly but is any other woman experiencing their chest shrinking with keppra or am i finally going crazy?
 
bless ya, i thought it was happening at first but thought it was me bein stupid but last night in bed i lay down and there was nothing there. im having so many side affects its unreal, i really wanna stop taking em, i can deal with the seizures better than the side affects. i feel like im going insane and i cant cope with these meds any longer.
 
I know where your coming from!!! I honestly can't remeber how many meds I've been on and the many different side-effects. I told the doc at one point to "f#$K the goddamn drugs I'll take the seizures". It was all good for a couple months then I had a seizure that nearly took my life in front of my daughter, back on the meds side effects and all ::P:
 
i have been told about an alternative because im 70 % sure mine are related to the time of the month. the neuroligist said something bout hormone tablets i cant remember the exact name, but im going to ask to try them because i cant deal with these side affects, theres too many of them there sending me crazy. my neuroligist dont seem to care, he wont send me for a night e.e.g which would make sense as the seizures only happen in my sleep. i could just cry and feel like giving up on everything, ive really had enough, im not normally a person who is down im normally dead happy n bubbly n trying to make others laugh but everyones commented that im so down lately, oh dear what meds are you on?
 
I currently take Keppra 500 morning 500 night and Epival 500 moring 750 night. You'll find your balance eventually. Mine to are linked with my cycle. I would say that if your neuro is not having you do a sleep test you should be looking for a new doc!
The happy is still inside don't ever let this take it away.:soap:
 
I have just been to docs he has gave me a pill to try. Mine are linked with my cycle. Do you know if the pill will help me and my hair will grow back?
 
Has anyone had there dose of keppra.reduced to 250mg? and have the side affects been worse? my eelashes stopped falling out and all of a sudden there was 4 fell out this gethamorni.g. Helo me i wanna jus cum off keppra all togetha. Im so sick of it. Someone please help me.
