Can Anyone Help me
Wed, 09/27/2006 - 23:16Topic: Medication Issues
Keppra is making my life miserable. I have every side effect possible. Finally my neurologist is cutting me down, he told me there would be no side effects. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I am on 2,000 a day going to 1,500.

Hi, I am on Keppra 1750 mg per day and I started out on 1000. I experienced side effects at every dose level. I think my depression is the worst. I am just not me any more. I stagger a lot and I always feel like I am in a fog. My brain is not clear. I sometimes have to struggle to find a word or I say a wrong word. It has not been fun for me at all. I go into Stanford for a VEEG sometime in Oct. so maybe I can find out what is going on. I wish you the best.

Dixie Lee, I am a 38 yr old with epilepsy. I am from N.Y. and grew up with a Dixie Lee along the shores of Lake Erie.... Might you be the same Dixie Lee? Ranger from western N.Y.
