I take lamictal had seizures since 9 I'm 40 lamictal made me stop only took for about 4 years but I was told it works better when u take something with it see if u can take without harming baby

I've had nothing but great experiences with Keppra! I know there are a lot of horror stories out there, but there are good stories too. It has been one of the best medications for me. It kept me seizure free for about 5 years! Then they started to come back and we tried adding other meds and eventually VNS implant. Now I take Keppra XR, Zonegran, and have the VNS. So far with meds, I have tried Topamax, Keppra, Lamictal, Trileptal, and Vimpat. Out of all the meds that I have been on, Keppra has caused the least amount of side effects. I can name at least one problem with all the other meds, Keppra hasn't caused me any though!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member i am a health nut. my mom and i take a lot of vitamins and diets and read a lot of stuff.
as for the vitamins... the milk thistle doesn't help me with the seizures, its just calms me down. i dont think you can have this because of the pregnancy thing but i take cbd oil. it stops the seizures cold. i used to have seizures everyday before the oil. after i have 1 kinda seizure a month or 2 month.

i take keppra and phenobarb. the side effects of keppra is (for me) dizziness, tiredness, and keppra rage (mood swings). i take vitamin MILK THISTLE for the mood swings. every meds has side effects. keppra attacks the liver and milk thistle boost the liver. i also take TURMERIC/CURCUMIN to boost hidden virus and bad bacteria.
the thing is every person is different. you may have the tiredness or dizziness. some people has no symptoms.
