Any input is always helpful! I'm on Keppra and feeling fine. Felbatol was a suggestion option put forth by my neurologist if, the Keppra therapy wouldn't work out.
Thanx,
Matt

I was wondering if you still needed input on felbatol. I have been taking felbatol since it first came out in 1993, when the aplastic anemia thing came out, my doctor told me that everyone who developed aplastic anemia was also taking something else. Since i am using it as a monotreatment, this was not an issue for me. I have not had any problems with the drug and have been seizure free ever since. I can drive, I work, I do everything everyone else does. I do not have to have weekly liver tests, I only have bloodwork done once a year. So, thats my input on the drug, I've had nothing but success with it. Hope that helps!Lisa
