I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 1974 when I was 4 years old. I would have grand mal seizures all the time. I was put on 30 mg of phenobarbital then until I was 13. I went seizure free for years until 2005 when I was 35 and already had 2 children. I am now on 6000 mg of Keppra daily with occasional auras a nd seizures. I have been through several neurologists and get a EEG about once a year. I'm losing a lot of my memory and I'm constantly depressed. My auras are a de ja vue feeling and some times an out of body feeling. Can anyone relate? Thanks
