New to site

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm glad I found it. I can relate to many of the stories I've read so far. I've had epilepsy since I was almost 16. I'm now 43. It started with a grand mal seizure that I stopped breathing during. My father just happened to be in the next room and heard me gasping for air. He gave me CPR and brought me back. I've only had a few grand mals and those after I was kicked in the head by an ex-boyfriend....another story, which I won't go into detail about. I have temporal lobe seizures which I don't remember a lot of the time. Mostly, I rely on what people tell me I do. Sometimes, I just stare at people and can't speak, my hands shake, I sometimes lose bladder control (during those seizures I'm told I make offensive gestures...my doctor and I agree I'm trying to stop the flow of urine), sometimes I rock back and forth, or, my whole body shakes. They last anywhere from a few minutes to 5. Getting back to normal can take up to 20 minutes. Mine also happen around the time of my period and they haven't found anything that completely controls them. I've been on: phenobarbitol, dilantin, tegretol, depakote, depakene, lamictal and currently, carbatrol. I'm sure there's a few I've forgotten, too. My doctor wants to try Keppra, now. Is there anything anyone can tell me about that one? Thanks, in advance. I look forward to having somewhere I can go for support. Peggy
