What Is The Brand Name Of An Alternate (not Generic) Medication To Keppra Which Is A Brand Name?
Is Lamotragine Good For Controlling Myaclonus?
Hi everyone
My Neurologist has suggested taking Lamotragine alongside Leveteracitam to control Myaclonus. Leveteracitam has reduced the Myaclonus considerably but I still have them especially when I cant manage tiredness, stress or in an environment that brings anxieties. Does anyone take Lamotragine and if so does it reduce Myaclonic seizures? and what are the side effects people are experiencing on this drug?
Early mornings can be awful for us 😔 worst

Medication
Does Anyone Take Levetiracetam XR (Keppra XR) 2x A Day?
Tonight I am going to divide the 3000 mg of Levetiracetam Extended Release tablets and take half at bedtime and half in the morning. This is to stop the afternoon seizures.
Does anyone else take the extended release twice a day and if so how much do you take and does it work well that way for you?
FYI: My doctor has prescribed it this way.
Medical Effects

Both is the same
Has Anyone Been Prescribed Keppra (Levetiracetam) For Epileptic Seizures?
Levetiracetam is my current medication/treatment for seizures but I can’t stand the side effects, such as insomnia, loss of appetite, irritability, and worsening depression.
Thanks so much again Becky. Your support and advice have been invaluable as I embark on this journey of recovery.
Medication Change
How do people feel about changing medication, I have been advised it would be beneficial for starting a family to come of carbamazepine tegretol, and increase my dose of levetiracetam to control my tonic clonic seizures, and take folic acid.
As I have taken carbamazepine for 15 years I am really anxious at the thought of changing medication due to my seizure been so well controlled with tegretol.
The thought of changing is making me not want to have kids, the thought of having uncontrolled… read more
