Keppra finally helped me get off the tegretol after years. Keppra sucks in the initial stages. I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. If you're starting tegretol chicky add vitamin d and calcium to your daily ritual. It's totally destroyed my bones.

Im on keppra and topamax and dilantin. The dilantin ive been on for 35 yrs since age 5 and with the severe side effects and it not as effective and more seizures lately, he switching me currently to Aptiom. I used to take tegretol as a little kid back then but had bad seizures.
