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.

My husband has been taking

My husband has been taking keppra 750mg for nearly 20 years along with 200mg of zonegran. He use to take it twice a day but he asked the doctor if he could reduce to once daily about 10 years ago and has been fine. He does take alot of naps throughout the day but it maybe a combination of his brain tumor and the meds. That's the reason why he asked to take it once daily. He has been seizure free for I believe over 15 years and still doing fine with no side affects or kidney issues.

I wonder if your dose is

I wonder if your dose is wrong. I have been on keppra for over 10yrs now and it is one of only a few meds that will actually help my seizures. Petites 10sec long every other 10sec with photo sensitivity and grand mals can be induced. Please talk with your doctor on checking your dose hun.
