Diamox And Keppra
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone taking Diamox (Acetazolamide) and Keppra (Levetiracetam) together?

I’m taking 500mg of Diamox for mild-high intracranial pressure (oddly helps seizure activity).
Also taking 500mg of Keppra for complex partial epilepsy (don’t loose consciousness).

I am very sensitive to med side effects. Since I’ve started I’ve had issues. Use to be Diamox and Lamicial.

Does Anyone Now Or Have You Ever Taken Zonisimide? What Do/did You Think? Did It Help?

Only thing nee Dr did was add Nayzilam… read more
