I was recently taken off of Keppra due to debilitating side effects that I couldn't grin and bare it, so to say. Have been placed on Gabapentin 900 mg a day. Seems to be helping my seizures stay at bay..but also hearing so much bad long term damage it may cause I'm at a loss.

How Frequent Are Your Petit Mal Seizures?
Hello all
Ive had petit mal epilepsy and myoclonic epilepsy for 21 years now.
My neuro just took me off depakote and switched me to zonegran. Ive been taking depakote for over a decade and its controlled my seizures very well.
