problems cominf back?
Sat, 07/16/2016 - 22:50Topic: Medication Issues
So I take keppra(1000 mg) Depakote (750 mg) and lamictil(100 mg). Ever since starting the Keppra, my symptoms started to fade away, and everything was well under control. Lately though I feel like my muscle jerks have begun to become stronger, waking up in the morning is more stressful, and then today I think I had a mini aura while out walking. I haven't had one for over a year. Basically, I'm just kinda worried that my problems could come back again. Is it possible for someone to build up a level of tolerance to the drug so that it stops working? Maybe it's the stress from the walk, but that's the fifth time I've walked that same route, and I did it the other day in 90 degree weather with no problems. I don't really know but yeah. Panicking. I leave for sleep away band camp in the mountains next Sunday but if I'm at risk then I don't want to leave home really.
