What are the effects? Please only Keppra takers who have mixed light alcohol with this medicine 😁
So my birthday is coming up soon and I want to buy some non alcoholic cider. The company says there is 0.5% or less (trace amounts) in each bottle. I take keppra and in the evening clonazepam alongside keppra. Thoughts?
What is the minimum legal age for alcohol consumption where you live? Would you give your thirteen year old child non alcoholic cider to drink knowing that it contains 0.5 percent traces of… read more
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

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?

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 recently had my third seizure at 29 years old. My first was a Febrile Seizure at age 5 or so. My second was around 22; I went to a music festival after barely sleeping, didn't eat, drank and smoked marijuana. Third was after a long night of drinking and poor sleep. Smoked marijuana and instantly went into one. I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with IGE. I haven't started my Keppra yet as I've already been dealing with anxiety and depression for the last year or so. I haven't been able to have a… read more
Love your honesty thanks for it
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".)
