Does ANYONE like being on Keppra?
Thu, 09/14/2006 - 16:02Topic: Medication Issues
Okay, so I know no one really likes being on any medication, but I am just wondering, does anyone LIKE Keppra?
I hate Keppra. I hate the way it makes me feel. I'm always tired and grouchy and fidgety. I can't see straight most of the time and my already short-fuse is way way shorter.
Has anyone been on Keppra and NOT had bad side effects?
Because for the number of people, it seems like most people I've talked to DON'T like it.

Hi Darci,On Keppra, yes, should it be? No.If you're still on Keppra, but the Tegretol was working, I would insist on going back on Tegretol. If your neurologist refuses, insist on getting a second opinion. Keppra was terrible for me and it sounds like you're having a similar experience.
That's 150mg Lamotrigine am

Thank you so much for your post. I'm trying to get through. I can rely on my hubby. I'm on 500mg morning and night and 150 am and pm. I have been getting side effects. I have been on keppra now for 45days. I am constantly on extremely highs and lows. I hope tomorrow will be when I can stabilize myself. I think it will help if I start keeping to my alarms for my pills. Thanks again for sharing your story.
