They put me on Keppra which was the devils drug because I became a ranging volatile nutcase. Then I was switched to Vimpat which has a lot fewer side effects. OK so I asked to have the dose reduced to 50mg in the morning and 50mg in the evening. Then I missed a dose and I had a nighttime seizure and woke up not knowing who I was. It was pretty messed up. The first time we cancelled international flights to visit my parents in law, the second seizure my wife had to rush back from overseas. All this REALLY "insert expletive here". Now I take 150mg twice a day.
