I've been dealing with a lot of rage and anger and just general not feeling like myself. It has come to my attention that there is something called keppra rage that comes from taking keppra which is what I take for my seizures. Has anyone or is anyone also dealing with this and have you found anything to help deal with or get rid of the rage?
I'm still on Keepra . I'm skeptical about switching. Im back driving now. I may have a little rage if I'm around people that trying to get over. Like family members. I moved to another town stay away… read more
Anyone heard of Keppra rage?
I'm on it, no prob my opinion, once in while, slight fatigue and naps,
I finally got my license back a year ago after achieving seizure control (yay) with Lamictal and Topamax, but my doctor thinks I'm having some undetected sleep activity and the Topamax causes severe anxiety for me, so she wants to switch to Xcopri. I started for a few days, but my vision was really weird, almost hallucinating, and I need to drive my kids around. I decided to stop until my next visit (I have sample packs). Also dreading the sleepiness, although I've found it got better after… read more
I'm up to 50 mg and my doctor wants to get me to 100 mg. Really tired is the only side effect I've had, but it's better if I fight through it rather than sleep. Seems like the tiredness gets a lot… read more
I came off Gabapentin 6 months ago my amount of seizures have gone up a lot they are now thinking of putting me onto Keppra. But as I've already have problems with my temper in the last 6 months, been told that some who take it suffer an increase in their temper. Has anyone had the same problem
I try to control myself as I know the temporal and frontal lobe damage I have as revealed in an MRI enhances my potential for irritability and anger.
Well Keppra Was The Worse Medication For Me, So I Stopped Taking It. It Gave Me A Zombie Affect & Made Me Sleep All Day & Night Without Eating
I’ve been on Keppra for 18 months, it’s worked very well, I had a surgery two weeks ago and I feel like I’m starting to have jerks in the last few days, anyone else ever had it stop working? Specifically after a major surgery?
The only thing with Info it's a Controlled substance just like Vimpat that I take.
Ive bern on 750mg keppra twice a day for around 2 years with no symptoms for the last 4 weeks ive been on 1500mg twice a day now ive noticed some bruising is this from the medication i had a seizure on monday but didnt injure myself?
Can you be free of epilepsy and after years return back?
Yes. You can be seizure-free for years and experience what one neurologist of mine termed "break-through seizures".)
Do anyone know of a wonderful, caring doctor in the Atlanta area?
Like mentioned before the Epilepsy Foundation is a great place and resource for any and all the information You need or want. It does not cost You anything, go online to their website, then go to… read more
I have Myoclonic seizures (jerks), but since being put on Keppra, God has blessed me with no jerks, seizures, nothing!!! I take 500 mags., 2xs a day...it’s worked amazingly for a month...how long before they increase doses usually?
I think that would be between you and your condition and your doc, my opinion,
