Another med change.

I went to my neuro today and told him about my bad seizure Friday so he changed my med. again. This time I'm going to try Keppra. I have heard alot of good things about Keppra so I thought I would give it a shot. I'm slowly going to come off the Zonegran and then eventually just be on the Keppra. I've got an MRI set for Monday. I haven't had one in a long time and I told him that I wasn't getting the warning signs like I use too, seeing the spots, etc., so he wanted to do an MRI to make sure everything was OK.
Please, anybody that is taking Keppra let me know what you think of it. Thanks

Re: Another med change.

This is my first day on my Keppra but I had a bad dizzy spell/almost seizure earlier tonight while my wife was at work and my kids were here with me. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and my daughter who is 10 and my son who is 6 were here with me. My son Hayden was with me in the kitchen and he noticed me acting funny and went and got my daughter Ashley who came and checked on me in the kitchen. By then I was laying in the floor but I could hear what she was doing. I just felt real bad dizzy, no shacking. The kids said I didn't shack at all. My daughter grabbed the phone and called my wife at work, which wasn't about 5 minutes away, and she rushed home. By then I was sitting up against the counter still filling a little out of it but better. I get them fellings alot but no shacking. I asked my son was I shacking any and he said no that I sounded like I was just sleeping. When my wife got here I told her I was just tired. My mother thinks that it might be that my level is low. My wife thinks that it's because I'm on the computer alot. I do stay on the computer alot but I'm cutting back. I don't think it's causing all the problems but it could be causing some of them.
Any way I'm proud of my duaghter. I scared the crap out of her but she saved me. I gave her a hug and thanked her and told her I was ok and I appreicated her for calling her mother when I needed help. I just wanted to brag on my kids.

Re: Another med change.

Hi JB,

Hats off to your angels! Hope the Keppra helps you. That's one we haven't had the pleasure of trying in our home...

Light,

Lisa and kids

Talking Re: Another med change.

You brag on your kids whenever you can!! Its amazing sometimes what all they grasp... Its awful we sometimes have to rely on them, but nice to know that they can handle it!! I have been on here once or twice and bragged about mine, so you go for it.. they deserve it!

Good luck with Keppra.... it didn't work out for me, but everyone is different.... hopefully this one will work for you! Wishing you well!

Lisa
