Has anybody tried a drug called Keppra. I have Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and am currently on Lamictal, Tegretol CR, and have been put on Keppra as well. Have been told its a new drug and dont know of anyone on it or if it has any side affects.
I was on it for almost a month and had to quit. About the third week I started getting angry. Not at anybody or anything, just incredible waves of anger, 24/7. A gentle breeze would set me off. I asked the MD if I should fight my way through and he told me to quit immediately. From what I've read my reaction was not common. Good luck.
I've been on Keppra for just a week now and haven't noticed too big of a difference except a little moodiness. Although, that can just be from job stress. I thought it was going to make me really drowsy because that is what it said on the label but I haven't felt any more tired than usual. Good luck and tell me how you do on it!
I've been on it for almost 4 years. I recall when I first started it I got a bit grumpy, but that passed. Like most drugs it made me tired also. Prior to Keppra I had averaged 5-6 grand mals a year. I haven't had one in more than 2 yrs. & I've only had a few aura's since on it.
This year I finally got my drivers license back, which I hadn't had since 91', due to the seizers.
I won't trade my Keppra for nothing.
I also have TLE. I have been on it now for almost 6 weeks. Starting to feel pretty darn good now. Had to have my dosage adjusted upwards a couple of times but I now haven't had any form of seizure for almost 2 weeks and my moodiness (which was pretty bad at the start) is now almost gone. I am a little drowsy but nothing to complain about.
