She has been on the Keppra since she was 9 yrs old. She had no side effects
before she was re - increased from the 250mg - 2x day to the now 1000mg 2x
day and on generic now. I mentioned to the Dr about the difference she is
having on generic vs brand name - I got none of our other pts are
experiencing this.
She is taking
Keppra 1000mg 2x day
Prozac 40 mg day
Abilify 10 mg day
They added Topamax for migraines - but need approval from Dr first. Also
psychiatrist wants to change her prozac and abilify but cant til I see Dr
and ask what else they can give her.
Ive seen ppl talk b4 about Kepprarage - what exactly is this? Anyone know?

Uggie,
Is she only on Keppra? Have you told her Dr.? He needs to know--
especially if this is completely different than what she used to be.
If you don't tell him -- he will think that everything is going OK.
It's good you will be seeing her Dr. next week.
You will have to remember that each person has to find the med that
fits them. Just because Dilantin and Phenabarb work for me --doesn't
mean it will for anybody else.
There are at least 25 different szs and that many differnt meds.
