It's my 21st next week and I want to party, have never drank whilst on convulsants - for Epilepsy and before I was put on these tablets I may have drank 3 times in a year? The only drink I consume/like is Jack Daniels (40% Vol) and Coca-cola. I don't like any other drink. I am of 5'4 height and am a size 8. I am currently on Lamotrigine 75mg a day, Keppra 2000mg a day and Clobozam 20mg a day. I just want to drink to celebrate but don't want to drink if its likely to kill me... Can anyone a

I take Tramadol for chronic pain following a car accident a couple years ago that left me using a walker and left me with awful leg and hip pain. Since taking the Tramadol I have gotten a few seizures and was given Keppra for the seizures. Will taking Keppra work? I need to take something for pain and Tramadol works so I am hesitant to stop taking it. I take 50mg three times a day.

Please, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I had my 1st seizure Sept., 2010 at age 35. My second seizure was in October 2011 and my last one was in November 2011. I haven't had another one since then (knock on wood). All 3 seizures were complex partial seizures. From what I have been told from witnesses, the seizure began with me staring into space followed by a loud yell then violent convulsions and teeth clenching. Next thing I know there are paramedics above me asking me simple ques

I have a lot of issues regarding my mental state. But I still do not think that i need to be on all of these pills. I also have neuro conditions including MS and NF1 which causes pain in my body so I am also of the Butarns Patch and Keppra The psychiatrist presribes me Trazadone-100mg Trileptal-150MG twice a day xanax-.5 mg prozac 60 mg abilify 10 mg (today they switched me to Risperdal .5 mg twice a day) I weigh about 83 pounds. I feel they are giving me far too much medication. As I also

I've been on it for a couple of months. Ever since i've Bern taking i've felt weird. Like everything is fake and its like my brain restarts in the middle o f a conversation. But I still stay on subject and keep talking. Its like I can't control what I'm saying. Any help?

It's becoming a severe issue. I am on 3,000 (yes almost an overdose) mg of Keppra XR and 150 mg of Topamax for seizures and migraines. I absolutely can not stay awake at work and fall asleep at my desk so I just got fired from another job. I absolutely have to have a nap or I fall asleep. I know mixing seizure meds and beer is bad but when I drink beer I can function 24 hours straight. Why is this? I haven't seen an increase in seizure activity but it makes me so able to perform if I keep up

I have been taking Keppra for a few months and ever since i've had writers twitch things and I don't know what it is.

on dec 30th I had an awful seizure that took me out for about 2 hours from start to finish. I could barely talk to call for help afterwords. . I have no prior history of seizures and did not seek medical attention. Four groggy days later I thought I was better and it was just a crazy fluke. Within 4 more days I started having clusters of complex partial seizures. I slept and seized away four more days of my life. A very close friend talked me into going to the e.r. one night after work s

I am epileptic and already take sodium valporate (Epilim) and Keppra for that; I also have anxiety and take Valium for that; and I have depression and the doctor recently prescribed me Lexapro for that and about a month after taking it, my skin started itching like crazy and I broke out in really weird rashes. I told the doctor this and he said 'well we already know that it can't be the epileptic meds that you are allergic too, since you have been on them for so long and I told him of my rec

I had a brain tumor removed in march 2009 that was causing epilepsy and since then i've been cold turkey seizure free, I was taking 4500mg that was 1250 mg twice a day of keppra a day and now i'm wheened down to 500mg a day so thats 125 mg twice a day and after next week i'll be totally meds free. Sorry i was on 2500 mg a day

i just took about 9000 milligrams of keppra and 100 of lexapro and i drank some nail polish remover.... Ummm am i gonna die?

I take 250mg of Lamictal in the morning and the same at night. I also take 200mg of Keppra in the morning and the same at night. I need to be on birth control to regulate or totally eliminate my period. Also, what birth control is also used for. So I need to know what brand of birth control can help my period and will not effect my Lamictal and Keppra. I would prefer professional answers please.

I went into Status Epilepticus xmas eve was pumped full of alsorts of drugs, didn't stop me seizing, they sedated me until about the 28th Dec 2011. Since then they've put me on Phenytoin, which I've just finished being weaned off of. Clobozam Keppra and Lamotrigine. I did hit my head a few times in hospital and had about 23 seizures in 9 days.

I went into Status Epilepticus Christmas Eve of 2011 and woke the 28th of Dec after being sedated. I understand they tried to bring me round from sedation a number of times but each time I wouldn't breathe on my own properly. Uncertain information is that my heart stopped beating for 90 seconds or I stopped breathing for 90 seconds. 2 people say different things. I am about 9st 3lbs and of 5'3 height. I was pumped with anti-convulsants and was told that I was given more drugs than they'd give

I am 31, I had a grand mal seizure in my sleep- 7:45 am. My neurologist diagnosed me with Complex partial seizure diaorder, showing sharp waves from the left temporal lobe, on my EEG. I am not sure if it is the meds (750 mg Keppra) or my anxiety, but I have not been able to sleep since and I know a big cause of seizures is not enough sleep. I am also experiencing a general "vibrating" through my whole body while attempting to sleep- it move all night long and my boyfriend woke me this am tell

I was diagnosed with epilepsy in December and was put on Keppra (Leviteracetem) and erm everything was fine until about 10 mins ago. I was making tea and while I was putting the milk back in the fridge I started shaking and crying and couldn't breathe. I retched twice. I grabbed onto the fridge and stayed conscious throughout. I am fine now though shaky and shocked but if someone could help that'd be good. Thanks in advance!x

I am a 16 yr old girl with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. I used to have absence epilepsy (from about 12 yrs old to some time last year, when I grew out of it) but maybe 3 or 4 months ago I developed JME (or began to notice it, at least). I had an EEG in December and I was diagnosed last week. (Also, I'm currently weaning off Lamictal that I was taking for absence and I will go on either Keppra or Topamax after that's done.) I have read that a lot of people with JME also develop tonic-clonic s

I'm a 15year old sexually active teen.. yesterday at school during lunch I went to change my pad (2nd day of my period) I found a big glob on my pad the size of a 3year olds hand....it was skin colored and about as thick as 4 tortillas stacked onto eachother. Email me if you want the picture of it..... It wasn't a blood clot because it wasn't made of blood?...did I have a miscairrage? I'm terrified of that because I was put on keppra 2.5weeks ago to stop seizures and its not safe for pregnant

I'm on keppra..

For about 3 years I've taken Keppra (Levetiracetam) for epilepsy....along with lamictal (lamotrigine) and zonegran (Zonisamide) which I've taken for over a decade. It seems like I've been gaining weight ever since I started the Keppra. I've gone from a size 6 to a 12 though I wasn't sure if that was associated with my now ex boyfriend who was a big eater. A few months ago my psychiatrist put me on a combo of cymbalta and Abilify for depression. She said the Abilify works to boost the effect of

im a 19 year old i suffer from social anxiety and im overwealmed with fears it took me like 3 years to conquer one of my fear by realizing why its irrational i think what might have helped me was because i was taking keppra at the time but now i stopped since it no longuer works with doctors permission so the question is how can i improve my logic so i can solve my troubles?why am i so retarded?

And he wants to smoke weed, but he's worried that the weed with have negative effects because of his medication. I scoured the interwebs for info but I can't find anything solid. My friend takes keppra or something like that. He says he doesn't have seizures unless he doesn't take his medication for a while. So, can he smoke weed or will it send him into a seizure/ kill him?

She takes keppra for seizure and she got weird behavior and don't want to do nothing beside sit-down and watching TV all day long until I was mad and bought her 50 piece of doughnut to keep her company while watching tv.

I took like 25 keppra and 10 lexapro pills.... what do i do, will i die?!?!?

So I have epilepsy and have been on Keppra for 2 years now. Recently Keppra has been giving me headaches (I know it's the meds because I get the crippling headaches exactly 3 hours after I take the pills) and also has made me gain a lot of weight- like 20 pounds. For someone who has always been a slim girl, I really don't like these extra 20 pounds. I've tried dieting and exercising it off, but it won't budge. I'm going to see my doctor in a few weeks, and would like her to switch me to a med

Only occasionally but still.

One month ago today, I had a seizure in class, the first I've ever had. I just remember sitting at my desk, feeling pretty tired, and the next thing I remember I'm on the ground with my GSI's trying to pull me to my feet. I was on the ground for a while because all day, I'd had sharp pain all day in my back, and they eventually got me out on a stretcher. Immediately when I woke up that morning, I realized something was wrong because of my back pain, and I felt like I caught some bug. I decided

I have been taking 500 MG Keppra once a day and 200 MG tegretol three times a day. I have been taking these medications for 5 years and I want to be taken off the Keppra because of mental side effects.

ok so I am 22 about to be 23. Almost 2 years ago right after I turned 21 I started having seixures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. I took Keppra until I couldn't handle the drowiness anymore.
