Moderators - please forgive me if this has already been discussed, or indeed if I have put this on the wrong area (move this if you have too )!!
Last week, my doctor increased my Keppra doseage to 1500mg (was previously on 1000mg). I now take 750mg in the morning and 750mg in the evening.
The first few days, I was ok-ish - but today, has well been, a complete wonder?! This morning, I was feeling very lethargic and even nauseous (something that I hate with a vengence). I didn't eat breakfast but just had a cup of tea. I continued drinking water throughout the day. After a late lunch (around 1:50pm) I then had an urge to laugh??!! I became quite hyper, couldn't really concentrate and kept on laughing/giggling in a meeting (that obviously caused a few glimpses, but my colleagues took it with a pinch of salt).
I actually feel great - lots of energy (even managed to walk down to meet my mother who picks me up from work in under five minutes - normally takes about ten).
But now... this has got me thinking. Could it just be that I am now perhaps at the right level of Keppra or is it just a side effect of the recent increase? I have not noticed a decrease in the absence seizures yet, still drift off etc... or could this just be the new me?
Such an odd feeling all the same...:rock: but would be grateful to hear what you guys think!
