Just switched from Keppra to Oxtellar. Anyone have any experience with Oxtellar.
Keppra made me too angry. Oxtellar really seems to be a bit easier but I am having problems with the ramp up at 900mg on my way to 1200 and then maybe 1500.
While I have a rare grand mal now and then, I typically have a lot of myoclonic jerks, absence seizures and two OTHER things I want to know if people have, on or off any meds I typically trip up my sentences. And its common for me to blurt out a word or two, its always something I am thinking about to my self but then I would say it out loud randomly which is VERY embarrassing. That stopped quickly even after two days at 300mg. This got me really excited! My moods were stable finally and my thoughts and speech were fluid again. But as I got to 900 I hit a wall. I was dizzzy, vomiting the first day at that level and just general out of sort. I felt high, like I had taken a sleep aid and vicoden (not that I would know what that really feels like). The vomiting stopped the second day but I was still out of sorts. I backed down to 300mg and then have started to ramp again over a longer period of time to see if I can get up to the level I need. ANY THOUGHTS?
