Keppra Side Effects
Sun, 04/02/2017 - 03:22Keppra the toxic medication has scrambled my brain and body long enough. 4 months of accelerating symptoms culminating in numb and very cold feet, little sleep, head spins so bad some days I can't get out of bed. Then there's prickling skin, depression, tingling fingers and lips. And to top it off I don't trust myself to drive as I can't think straight. Back to Tegretol today as I wean myself off this toxic medication. Today I can stand up.
I wean myself off this toxic

I wean myself off this toxic medication. Please do it with your neurologist knowing it or you could have some real big problems. Now without knowing if your dosage was changed or if the dosage might have been too high you are calling it toxic. Well to you it might have been. To others it is working like it was created to do. For me keppra is the best seizure medication I have taken in the 50+ years I have been living with epilepsy.For some people the tegratol was as bad as the keppra was for you.I hope you get your seizures under control
