Also for the med's i am currently on 50mg Lamictal, and 1,000 keppra in the morning, then another 1,500mg of keppra at night. my symptom's are: dizzy, trouble concentrating(Bad), staring spell's(5-15 minute's) rare occasion is up to 30 minute's!!!!!!, loss of balance, not dreaming, comprehension is totally gone half the time, pupil's are HUGE, alway's tired. please help..?
