Keppra Withdrawal

Mon, 07/30/2018 - 16:00
I've been on Keppra 2000 mg for 7 years and was also on Depakote 1500mg for 5 of those years. Over time I became more apathetic and angry. I thought about having kids so i decided to get off the Depakote. That is when the hell started. Gradually over the past 2 years I have fallen into a deep anhedonic depression. I barely even have seizures anymore. One week ago I finished withdrawing Keppra and started using CBD oil. I still can't feel emotions, happiness or interest in anything. I'm also taking zoloft to try and help with the depression. I'm currently having muscle twitches. Does anyone know how long it takes after withdrawal to become yourself again? I want to feel love again and enjoy some music.

what is the dosage of CBD you take? Try a higher dosage. the issue I have is with the expense since it isnt covered by insurance - I have found a great vendor with affordable prices. Look them up 1stchoicecbdusa .com  I know it can take time to heal your receptors. just be gentle with yourself. Sending lots of love.
