Hi,
I can't call your number because I live in Australia-but I like to read these posts and see what other people have experienced. I was diagnosed with epilepsy 3 years ago (am 22). I had a really serious reaction to Lamictal last year and it almost took my life. I am currently on 3000mg Keppra a day,but am still having the occaisional grand mal seizure-so I dont think that it is helping me either.

I have had epilepsy for 15 years now, and have been on Trileptal, which did not work for me, and am currently on Lamictal. My doctor just prescribed Keppra today, so I will be beginning that medication tonight.Teresa tmg665s@hotmail.com
